Joycie's Duncheon August 13th 2013



Well this is me, the Joycie, and I forgot to have someone
take a pic of me for this dinner, so I found one on my computer
and that is how I got there.  I was the hostess for August 2013 Luncheon.
September is at Reno NV, and then Sheila has the October Luncheon.

September we are getting together at Linda's in Reno NV.
She is also a great hostess just like Nancy.  It will be lots of fun,
just like we had lots of fun at the cabin.

I had the luncheon/duncheon in the evening at Nancy's cabin
as we ate a late breakfast, and we were all stuffed.
This was the easiest ever for me.  Al Lewis cut the steaks for me
from a prime rib roast,  (Thanks Al ) Pat BBQED for me, Linda helped
me with getting it on the table,  salad etc, and Nancy always helps
with everything.  Thanks everyone for helping me, I didn't mention
all the names who helped but you know who you are.  Pat that was such a big
help to BBQ for me, you do such a great job and much appreciated.
I had my luncheon/duncheon at Nancy's that way Linda would not have to travel
all the way to Red Bluff, like the next day or so, she lives in Reno.
So thanks Nancy for letting me have the dinner  it at your cabin.
Also many thanks for sharing your cabin with us.  I know it is a lot of extra work for you.
Big thanks to everyone for helping!  I really appreciate it a lot!

I bought the fingerling potatoes at Costco, they were really good, I  buttered on them and baked them in the
oven and also sprinkled seasoning on them, and when out put fresh shredded cheese on them.

As Pat would say just wing it on these recipes, as it is sort of a whatever recipe.

The salad had a lot of good stuff in it. , and the steak, potatoes, and also had bread with garlic
cloves in it, yummy.
We had churned vanilla  ice cream and coconut macaroon cookies for dessert,
also some other cookies.  The coconut macaron cookies I made I really didn't care for but
everyone else did, so that was a winner.  We were all stuffed for sure.

How to make the Coconut Macaroon Cookies
I bag coconut
1 can sweetened condensed milk
vanilla, and bake, but for some reason it didn't taste like I thought it should.
I was going to toss them but thought I would bring them anyway for a snack,
but they liked them so that was a win win for me.




Judy brought some of her Juliet Tomatoes and so added
them to the salad.  Those are the best tomatoes ever.
She gave me some as I begged her for them.  I love them
and they don't last long at our house as Don eats them
as fast as I do.  They are sweet, and not a lot of acid in them.
Don said Judy is a great gardener and I agree.  Thanks Judy
for answering my begging call.

These potatoes at Costco were so cute so I had to
buy them for the dinner.  Plus they were good.
