These are a few of the many themes from our Gourmet Group. Les and Ruby were members of the “original group” which started in the fall of 1979. All of the 22 members were interested in sharing their cooking knowledge and skills as well as the socialization and hospitality. Gourmet met monthly and two couples would be the hostesses and plan the menus and were also responsible for preparing the main entrée. Calories were rarely counted nor were the bottles of wine.
Everyone always looked forward to Gourmet. We knew the food would be wonderful and the conversation would be stimulating and never boring. In fact, it was during one of these conversations that Les and Lyle discovered they had both had the same hired man years before. Enough said.
Les and Ruby were an integral part of this group. We had many gatherings on the farm and at their home in Audubon. This group covered several generations and Lyle and I admired Les and Ruby – we hope that younger people will want to be with us as much as we enjoyed and wanted to be with Les and Ruby.
There are many recipes that as I prepare I think of Les and Ruby. We share the fondness for couscous, barley and wild rice so here is one of my favorites with Barley I would like to share.
