Jeff Jeffries Dinner Party Continues!

Chef Jeff Jeffries joined us from the Woodland's Grill, and started us off with stuffed red peppers!

It was then time to have a fresh cold asparagus soup....yummy!

We needed potatoes, and we needed them badly! Dave lends a hand working the food mill....

...while Chef Jeff grills the steak to perfection along with preparing asparagus.

The peppercorn sauce is fabulous!


...and then it's off to add balsamic glaze into some fresh fruit.

What a great crew we had this evening!




Oh yeah, the rowdy bunch is below (kidding)!

And there is the dessert!

This was a very nice evening of good food, wine and merriment. Chef Jeff will be back on the Fall/Winter schedule but why wait! Join him at the Woodland's Grill now, and then see him in the fall class.
