MINUTES – DINNER G

DINNER MEETING HELD 27 FEBRUARY 1982 AT 6291 DUNCAN ST.

The Members arrived between 7:00 and 7:30 PM.

Mr. Gillis served some Can O'Peas graciously sent to the Society by Miss Dorothy MacNaught, along with a somewhat cryptic note thanking the "Guys" for "the lovely time on Thursday Night" -- a message greeted by a few embarrassed coughs and hurried denials from some Members. A note of thanks will be sent out by the Secretary.

Mr. Bagg served the opening course, appetizers of lumpfish caviar in mushroom caps, capers, anchovies, ham and cream in mushroom caps, smoked salmon, scallops marinated in oil and lemon, deviled eggs, and the famous Bagg pate.

Mr. Bagg then served the soup course, a delicious Hungarian cold cherry soup, prepared with raisins and oranges.

Mr. Gillis then introduced Mr. Fisher, who entertained the Society with a lively rendition of the pleasures, perils and petulances of life in that Land of Lotus-Eaters, Southern California. Mr. Macleod expressed the Society's thanks to the Guest Speaker.

The next course was chicken Kiev, prepared by Mr. Smith, nicely accompanied by Mr. Gillis' minted fresh garden vegetables du beurre. This was followed by a generous portion of spinach salad à la Flute, which was served by an unknown Member.

After the salad, Mr. Bagg introduced Mr. Macleod, who gave a highly entertaining speech consisting primarily of a series of extracts from Letters to the Editor of "The Times", covering topics such as "Cricket", "Politics", "Something Must Be Done", etc.)

At the conclusion of the second address, Mr. Lemon served steak Diane (purportedly prepared from a recipe given him by the Princess of Wales), accompanied by Mr. Gillis' boiled rice and baked, stuffed onions.

As the crowning touch to a marvelous meal, Mr. Wood served a magnificent coffee, rum, and whipped cream dessert, which was completed with freshly-perked coffee provided by Mr. Smith. During and after coffee, an assortment of liqueurs, wines and brandies were served.
