Lafayette College Field Hockey Team Dinner

Tonight we hosted the team dinner, prior to the Patriot League tournament, which begins tomorrow in DC. What a great group of girls!

They had fun with the Wii and Rock Band!

Adding the menu for future reference (serves 23):

The temp was in the high 40 and it was a drizzly day.

On the porch/space heater on:

Poland Springs "Fizzy" water in Raspberry Lime, Lemon, and Orange

Gatorade

Lower Kitchen:

Coffee Urn with Water for Tea

Selection of Tea Bags

This was a hit!

Dinner:

Cooked 5 lbs Penne, served with "Red Sauce", Marinara

The sauce contained meatballs made from 6lbs of ground beef and also 2lbs of sausage

(3 lbs of Penne would have been enough -- sauce leftovers freeze).

Cooked 2 lbs Linguine, egg and spinach, served with Pesto

Baked one very large Stouffer's Lasagna + 1 Stouffers Mac & Cheese

Bread: Pepperidge Farm Garlic Bread (5 loaves -- more would have been OK!)

Salad: used most of 2 big tubs of organic field greens, dressed with garlic, "Le Trebbiane" extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and freshly ground pepper, sea salt

Dessert: 3 homemade apple pies, 2 tubs vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, peanuts and Hershey's chocolate

We used real plates and real silverware!
