The 'Cajun' Culinary dinner consisted of Hors d'oeuvres, followed by a 7 course meal. Appetizers of Alligator and Andouille Sausage over Red Beans and Rice. Crawfish Bisque soup. Grilled Fruit Salad. Pecan-Encrusted Catfish with Remoulade Sauce. Apricot Mimosa Sorbet. Entree of Stuffed Chicken Breast and Sweet Potato Creme Brulee for dessert. Yummmm, it was all so good!
This is a picture of the main course, Stuffed Chicken Breast. I should have taken pictures of each course. I will remember that next time. I was 'visiting' and watching my son 'direct traffic' as he put it, with the servers.
The culinary students spent months getting ready for this event. They all did an excellent job! The evening and meal was wonderful! Everyone, including the students. had a Great time!
My son has come so far and done so well! I could not be prouder of him! But even more than that, it was great to see him so proud of himself, to see him smiling and having a good time with his culinary classmates!
Thank you for a great evening and meal, son! I love you! ~ Mom

For me, it was when my 9 yr. old son took me to his fav. hamburger joint and bought me lunch. How grown up and proud he was to do that for me. He is 27 now and often cooks dinner for my husband and I. Our sons are our heritage. Like you, I treasure mine. :)
