This post is late, and self-serving, and I apologize for that. Begun shortly after this menu was served on June 25 of last year(!), I'd drafted it, but never completed or posted it. But it marked a key moment in my husband, Joe's life, when he said goodbye to serving in youth ministry with our church community. Celebrating nearly 40 years of volunteering, we hosted a delightful evening in our home with the current co-leaders; and at the time, I made note of the menu, fully intending to post it. There's no good excuse why I waited until now; but I want to remember, so here we go. Oh, and I also want to remember that our son and daughter-in-law, who were living with us at the time, helped with prep, cooking, and serving, which was great fun, doing it all together. So without further ado, for the sake of memories....
