Gamer's Dinner 2001

4/27/2002

As a Christmas gift, the Weller's put together a multi-course dinner for their gaming friends. This year's dinner was at the new Weller home in American Canyon and was followed the next day by a multi-team D&D game that pitted good against evil (or at least those not claiming to be good). As before, Mike put together another one of his fabulous dinners as can been seen in the pictures below. Please note that some of the colors in the pictures are not accurate due to my non-professional electronic photography skills. Under each meal picture is the name of the course in bold, the name of the dish, and the recommended beverage in italics.
