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.
