December 27, 2009 WOW that was alot of food...again

We arrived with the typical grocery bags in hand awaiting the Chef to appear in his kitchen...a bit of a late start this sunday but we were very pleased with the results! We had only spent a little over $75 and Brian was able to feed twelve people and probably could have served two or three more with the amount of food that he prepared. No way would be ever be able to go to a restaurant and get fabulous 6 course dinner for $6.25 per person!!!!!!!!
