UPDATE: I've gone to Poppy

Yesterday I took a little journey to Poppy Hill where Scott and I talked about my menu. I went in knowing that there will be approximately 12 or less people at the accreditation meetings and that I will be serving one breakfast and one lunch (different days). I went in planning on only discussing the lunch menu since I have a fairly solid grasp on breakfast goods. I told Scott that I wanted it to be pretty light since it'll be spring time and it's only lunch, so it shouldn't be a really heavy lunch. I want them to walk away satisfied, not wanting to hibernate.
So far we came up with
- Crab cakes
- Open face sandwiches
- Salad

and for dessert
- homemade vanilla ice cream
- strawberry short cakes

I'm good with this...mostly things that I would be able to take care of in advance, so that's good. I'm so glad I went to Scott to talk to him about the menu, I know that I would have had a hard time coming up with this myself just because there are so many options. I'm happy with this "rough draft".

Over break I plan to test some of these out for that I can figure out what I want to keep/change on the menu.

I was thinking about what I'm going to present on that night in May when we all have to present our exhibits again, so I was thinking that I would make a poster board with some of these pictures from over the summer when I was still struggling to get my project back together by doing random cooking activities (I'd explain further, obviously). That way the students/parents will see that there is not cookie cutter way to have a successful project.
