Oh Marye - sounds delicious! I still have my stacker mold set from years ago when we were stacking everything in the world. Had more fun with those - the dishes always looked so good.

That sounds incredible. I've had something somewhat similar at The Yardhouse.

The Chef used Small pvc pipe cut to one or 2 inches and used clear
accitate to finish the stacking salad - unmolded easy -
was very good - the hot sauce on bottom was very tasty too.

Sounds very good...can you imagine this being popular in Iowa Marye? I just taught a class with the "main" dish being Cream of Broccoli Soup BY SPECIAL REQUEST...it was good as it was my Share Our Strength recipe for review and comment as well. Two birds one stone...but you get my idea...

I suppose not for the salad - maybe in Des Moines - it was truly a great
salad. - the high School Culinary Class took this to Nationals and came in
7th place over all
Hey lj - did you enjoy teaching the class ?
My sister is coming to Iowa next week - and hoping to take a class
at the Winery in Navoo.

That pvc piping is wonderful for molding, I use it a lot for catering.

I work the next 6 days and then have the long Memorial Day weekend off and we are headed to Southern Hills Winery one of the days of that weekend...if we are all feeling better.
The teaching has been a blast. The place I am using is rapidly turning into a "dive bar and grill golf course" so it is odd bringing in a bunch of older ladies that are all "proper" and such. We are done until fall when the golfers are not there from dawn to dawn playing golf and eating greasy burgers and drinking watered down beer. I did 20 classes in five weeks with a class size of 15 and did two classes of each subject. I had people from 8 different counties. I managed to fit in my work with Chef Besh as well in that time frame down in Waukee.
