Last week we enjoyed chicken sandwiches, macaroni salad and black bottom banana cream pie.  Here’s a few pics from the dining room last week:

I had a request from a blog follower for the recipe for the reuben casserole.  Here’s what we recommend after making it a couple of weeks ago.

REUBEN CASSEROLE:  For 12 Servings:

Layer in a half-sized disposable pan sprayed with non-stick spray:

1 loaf of rye bread (or sourdough if you prefer), cut or torn in 1 inch cubes

3 pounds cooked deli corned beef, sliced and roughly chopped

2 cups thousand island dressing

2 cups sauerkraut

Warm in 325* oven, covered with foil until heated through.  Remove foil and top with 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese.  Return to oven and bake until cheese is melted.

Last Wednesday was International Women’s Day.  Here’s how the world celebrated the day…The World Celebrates Women.  At Calvary Lutheran, the women of the kitchen (and Larry) didn’t take the day off, but stayed on the job, celebrating their love of cooking and serving.

This family proclaimed the meatball dinner a success as well, and were happy to pose for a family group photo.
