But only for Melody’s workshop. The party continues for you!
Why are these people laughing?
Because they just had this wunnerful Fisch Nach Burgenlaendisher Art with Red Caviar Blinis! (Translation: Fish al la Burgenland {Translation of translation: Fish in the style of Burgenland.} And where is Burgenland? Austria! Burgenland is the 7th largest of Austria’s 9 provinces.) Another out of the park Austrian recipe. Of course, the blinis are Russian but whose counting?
This dish has Point Neuf Potatoes under the crispy golden scrod with anchovy butter, sour cream, garlic spinach and finally a topping of julienne multi colored sweet peppers! How good is that? You can smell the flavors. The caviar blini? It’s salmon roe, buckwheat pancakes, sour cream, fat free, of course, and a drizzle of butter. Heaven!
Well, if you haven’t attended any of the Spring Quilt Art Workshops or the Winter Workshops, you’ve missed this dish. It was voted best loved dish of the Winter Workshops. Instead, you’re going to have a Valencian Paella! Yum! Because the Maple Salmon was voted best loved from last year, it stays in for the rest of this year.
Kim helps me plate!
And boy do we have fun!
And so, we say a teary good bye to Melody Johnson, the first Art Quilt Workshop.
But indeed, we did have fun! Didn’t we girls!
You missed a good time and a great learning experience! See you next workshop.
WE exhibit the rosencheeks du port. I remember only half my stay with you. The rest is a haze of fabu indulgence.
This was the best time ever.
Now if I can only get outta Dodge…
Hmmm….you DO realize that, by having Melody as your FIRST quilt retreat leader you have set the bar very, very, VERY high for everyone else……
teri
You shoulda come back here. Then you could have avoided the glue pork chops and the glue soup. If I’da known you liked glue soup I could have made you my famous, soup de glue du jour! 😉
The bar is indeed set high. This just means you get a challenge! Besides, we don’t give out scores. So, you’ll have to judge for yourself.
Of course the bar is now set high!
That was the goal – to start out with a BANG! When I sought out teachers, my first thoughts were of the teachers that I always wanted to take a workshop from. We thoroughly enjoyed Melody’s company and thought the whole group was fabulous. We were definitely sad to see them go.
Indeed, this whole year sets the bar very high and we started out with very large BANG!
We were sad to leave! Some may say that Melody set a high bar — and it was a wunnerful fun creative workshop. But you also spoiled us to go to anywhere else for a workshop!
Glad to hear it! And spoiled you should be! There are always more workshops, fiber and painting, here! So don’t worry.
It was wunnerful! Thank you berry mush!
