Personal Celebrations - Family Reunion

The family reunion was held in Washington State last month. My cousin, my husband and I developed a cool series of events that culminated in the big reunion dinner held at a gorgeous retreat center on the water in Gig Harbor WA. Glorious setting and weather was the backdrop for a great spirited gathering. The center piece, a fantastic and fully self-catered spread of Northwest flavor for 50.

PNW Flavor
Smoked Salmon
Dungeness Crab
Burgers/Dogs/Veggie Burgers
Spinach and Strawberry Salad (vegan)
Pasta salad with organic veggies (vegan)

Quite a bit of cooking, but definitely a labor of love. That's what its all about, right?
