Meet Aug 27, 2012

Attendees of the evening meeting were greeted at the Sterling Estate by exceptionally balmy weather, which resulted in a unanimous vote to sit outside. This proved to be the right decision, the only problem being the occasional attack on our food by yellow jackets. Nat, however, ready as usual for all eventualities, produced his handy yellow jacket "stun gun," and to the delight of all quickly stunned the intruders and then finally dispatched them with the sole of his shoe.

NS exceeded all expectations by first traveling to the Loire Valley to hone his skills with French cooking and to collect recipes. Then he re-created this experience for his guests with a MENU that is truly remarkable. He does admit that he had not previously tried the particular wines from Loire (recommended by K&L) that he served, but fortunately they were good examples.
