AIA Dinner at Kathleen and Steve's


Wednesday 9 May
Barbara's old friend Patty Gerstenblith came in to give an AIA lecture, and Kathleen very kindly gave a dinner at her home so that the students would have a chance to meet and talk with her informally.  Even more kindly, she allowed us to glom onto it and get a chance to chat with Patty and her husband, as well as eat good food.
The catering was done by Fresh Table, who have a stand at Findlay Market.  Lots of their stuff is local and eco-conscious, and we are occasionally inspired to duplicate some of the dishes they display (beets and sweets were originally their idea). 
Their dinner was simple and straightforward: sliced turkey breast with a choice of basil or plain mayo, little buns to put it on, roasted vegetables, cold noodles with pesto, green salads with grape tomatoes and mushrooms in a garlicky mayo dressing, and chocolate-dipped strawberries for dessert.
There was something for everyone, so thanks to Kathleen and Steve for hosting, and to Patty for giving us such a good talk!
