I submitted 3 photos this week all from a lunch I put together for 40 people. The occasion was what I like to call "Decking the Halls". The church was truly transformed in just hours. Boy were they hungry!
Here's the salad that caused the soup to boil over (see next photo). It's a recipe from "Rich and Charlie's", a restaurant in St. Louis. I'm not sure if it's still there. I started using this recipe in 1976 and a note on the back of my recipe card said that it cost $6.74 to make. I can't even buy the Hearts of Palm for that today but the salad is just as yummy.
Well, everything can't go perfectly when your feeding 40 people. Volunteers were decorating the church and I was preparing lunch. While putting the salad together the soup boiled over. It happened so fast. Still it filled the empty bellies.
You can't have an Italian salad without the bread sticks fresh out of the oven. In my opinion, the best part of the meal.
