Bill started working on the project two months prior to the luncheon, creating a menu with the theme of "Autumn Northwest Farm-Style". "My menu was inspired by the fall family meals of my youth and I wanted to share that warm, home-cooked pleasure for all in attendance" stated Chef Bill. The menu included Tomato & Squash Soup with Northwest Salmon Dumpling, Loin of Pork glazed with apples, apricots and molasses, Rice Barley Pilaf, Roasted Root Vegetables in a brown butter sauce, and Cinnamon Caramel Monkey Bread with Huckleberries, vanilla whipped cream and chocolate dust. The main dining room was transformed into an elegant restaurant and the luncheon was served buffet style.

About every six to nine months, meals similar to this are prepared for residents. This event was sponsored in connection with URM Foodservice.

We are looking forward to having Chef Bill back soon.
