We enjoy attending the theatre productions throughout the summer and try to take part in the winter programs whenever we can. It's a real pleasure being able to enjoy some of the finer things in life right in our own back yard, especially since we don't have to rush to the 'great city' to enjoy them. Taking the initiative, we offered a German dinner for four complete with homemade wine. We waited, with some trepidation, and were delighted to find friends of ours had bought the dinner .

For the first ap- petizer we had antipasto which is a spicy concoction of tomatoes, olives, water chestnuts, jalapeno peppers and a few other ingredients. We served this with crackers and cold beer. The first course at the table was pickled herring and onion on buttered
