This past Fall I did a post about the Second Annual PIC Auction called I Aint No French Maid! The biggest "ticket " item bid on was a dinner for eight, cooked in the Buyers home, totalling five courses. My Brother, who is a Chef with his own restaurant, Sul Mare in Tenants Harbor Maine, donated his services. I was elected to help prep and serve!
The lucky winners requested that I come attired as a French Maid....and being used to being accommodating...as most good Realtors are......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our dinner was this past Sunday evening just outside of Concord in Bow, NH.
We arrived at the house at 4:30 with a 6:00 dinner hour planned. 
I was dressed in appropriate attire!
We prepped for the Minestrone Soup, Caesar Salad and stuffing for the Shrimp and Lobster Ravioli (one of four entrees available) While I was chopping Kevin was proofing the bread!
Good Stuff!
The Menu
Tuscan Vegetable Minestrone
Caesar Salad
Potato Gnocchi with Maine Shrimp, Lobster and Tomato Basil Cream
CHOICE OF:
Asian Maine Shrimp Ravioli with Nantua
Wood Roasted Leg of Lamb with Fresh Tomato, Rosemary and Chianti
Honey Glazed Chicken Breast with Brodo

They were a very happy group! 
Kevin took the time to explain all the courses and what they consisted of.
He even divulged a few "secrets" The dessert was the piece de' resistance. Everyones favorite...Tiramisu!
Everyone was satiated!

WOW Joan! You do in fact make a lovely French maid and Congratulations, What a great task you accomplished. That was so fun to read and see your interpretation. Daug on it, the old axiom is alive and well, "where there is a will, there is a way" and you certainly demonstrated that with wonderful panache! Well done.
Sincerely,
William

Va Va Voom! I don't think I'm going to let my husband get around you, lady! :)
What a great time you must have had. Looks like all enjoyed themselves - and that menu is out of this world! I may have to take a side trip and go to your brother's restaurant!

Nope, you are no french maid. But if I had my way I would make sure the folks by you had their chance to make you the Queen of goodness and kindness that you are.

Joan,
Thanks for bringing a smile to my face first thing this morning! You make a beautiful french maid however I think of you more as the lady of the manor.
WoW, what a menu! It looks like they had a beautiful dinner and a good time was had by all.

How fun, I have been to some 3-5 star restaurants and the menu's were not as impressive as the one you and your brother offered. Hope you get lots of referrals.
