The Dish Gala

Papa Cargill called on Tuesday and requested Darin attend the the Second Harvest "Dish Gala" in St. Paul. I thought "OH wonderful a evening out~ Yahoo" then reality set in when we hear it was a formal event. (Yikes, new suit here we come)
Well it turned out to be a wonderful evening. Cargill sponsor the entertainment so we sat front and center for Comedian Tom Papa {host of Marriage Ref & various movies} Hilarious is the only word to describe him. Cargill had three tables for the event with different business units being represented for their work with Second Harvest Food Self.
We sampled foods from 12 executive chefs from the cities. All types of great food from braised short ribs over polenta to crepes with salmon. On each end of the ballroom were ice sculptures that they poured either pomegranate martini's or lemon drop martini's.
Interesting group of people at the Gala and naturally it was fun to people watch. Ladies the small evening handbags are no longer in at these formal events............everyone needs to get huge loud colored bags to go with their little black dresses. They also had a live auction that had 10 items on it and they received $5,000.00 for 2 (yes only 2) tickets to see Tim McGraw in concert with a meet & greet. Once again very lucky to work for Cargill and I hope I remember that the next time the Mill calls at 3 am........... Have a blessed Good Friday!
