Licensed under L.L.B.O. 347-2974 PG. 46 THE RURAL VOICE, AUGUST 1983 RURAL LIVING Great Recipes courtesy Blyth Summer Theatre Being a board member for the Blyth Centre for the Arts is a lot more than a social position. Several times a year members are tied up in aprons and herded into the kitchen to produce a gourmet meal to please the palate and raise funds for the Blyth Summer Theatre. Many are quite accomplished cooks and the gourmet meal has become an an- nual event where patrons look forward to tasting some of the finest in Huron county cuisine. The dinner is being held this year in the Blyth Community Centre for 100 ticket holders. Last year the menu included small quiches, stuffed mushrooms, and sausage rolls for appetizers; two cold soups, creme of cucumber, and cold cherry soup; the main course, a colourful selection of salads. (mixed bean, carrot medallion, and traditional green salad), ham, turkey, scalloped potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, onion casserole with a cheese sauce, along with assorted reiishes and several kinds of homemade tea biscuits (whole wheat, herb, and cheese). The crowning touch to the meal was a selection of pies. This year the menu has still not been disclosed but will be equally fine when the time comes. A few recipes from the board member's files for you but if you would like a taste test first the dinner Is August 13 and the tickets which sell for $15 each, are available at the Blyth Summer Festival Box Office.
