Summer Fair at Dominican Sisters of Peace

 

Last week we held a summer fair at Dominican Sisters of Peace. The Sisters set up games for all the employees and their kids; there was also a guy making balloon animals as well as face painting. Of course there was also some fantastic fair food to be had. Chef Andy Harker did a philly cheesesteak to order station complete with sliced sirloin, onions and peppers and house made cheese sauce. Director Matt Johnston made lemon shakeups to order as well. The highlight of the evening was dietary aide Jason Clark's banana beignets for dessert. The beignets were very simple to make: we cut out 2 inch squares out of puff pastry, lightly buttered them and filled them with bananas. We then fried them right before the event and garnished them with a praline sauce and powdered sugar. They were a bit of an upgrade to the funnel cakes served in the past. Pictured are Andy and Matt's action stations.
