Amyloidosis Support Groups Retreat

Last weekend was spent in Wood Dale and Itasca cooking for my friend Muriel who runs a non-profit organization. Her group is Amyloidosis Support Groups and can be viewed at www.AmyloidosisSupport.com. Last weekend was their annual retreat with people coming in from all parts of the country.

Dan & I arrived Friday afternoon and prepared appetizers and a light supper for the attendees. We were fortunate to have a break so we could enjoy the beautiful deck that Steve (Muriel's husband) had built. It was so peaceful and we enjoyed watching the birds.

Saturday morning, we arrived sharply at 7 am at Finkel Supply in Itasca. Here is where the heart of the meetings took place. We prepared an egg-bake casserole, roasted potatoes, fresh fruit and a coffee cake.

For lunch, the attendees dined on chicken bolognese, salad and wheat rolls. And dessert was my fudgie brownies.

We were done cleaning up around 1pm. Dan decided I had done enough cooking for a while so we stopped for Thai food in Grayslake. Once we arrived home, we both took a well-deserved nap!
