Heather Lanier, as our BSHS Program Manager, had things well in hand and would write the name of each dish next to it as well as whose recipe it was, on a long piece of butcher paper she had rolled out on the “banquet” table. Later on after everyone had partaken of what was quite the feast, we talked about the people who had contributed the recipes, some who are now no longer with us, and their lives in Big Sur. Between everyone there we came up with quite a few recollections, and perhaps a few speculations. Years of hearsay were set straight about “Peter Stock’s” lemon bars and brownies by Peter himself!
Stanley Harlan told us about how when flailing beans his Uncle Marion lost his eye! Not always the good old days clearly! Carol Shadwell reminisced about her Grandmother Jean, (applesauce cake) and her performances in the Review(s). Cody Oliver shared a fun story about Fay (Russian vegetable pie) Harrington at Deetjens. It was an epicurean walk down memory lane and a fun evening for all!
Thank you to Cody Oliver, Jess Mason, Miles McBreen and our deputy Jesse Villasenor for all their hard work tidying up the Museum!!
