This weekend marked the last of this years farmhouse dinners program. We were both a little sad that it was over and happy to be heading in to what looks to be a great school tour season. Over the past four years we have done almost 160 dinners. The way the program works is people can call ahead and book up to 10 seats at the table. Because the food is served family style they get to pick between three different menus that are all prepared using historic recipes and methods. Someday I should figure up how much beef we have cooked. Of the 160 meals I would have to guess about 145 of the meals have featured pot roast. The other two options that people can pick from include a turkey dinner and a traditional German meal with all the fixings. We often hear, "this is just like going back in time to Grandma's house". From the food to the way the house is decorated to the clothes we are wearing we want it to seem like it is 1920. Besides the meal we also give a tour of the house and barnyard and play period parlor games.
This weekend Sarah and I were happy to have the help of Kristen and Tamera. Thank you, ladies.
