United Methodist Communities at The Shores’ annual Couples’ Luncheon held on Valentine’s Day, brought 28 men and women an exquisite experience. Attention to even the slightest detail produced a perfect event. Town Hall became magically transformed into a fine restaurant with romantic ambiance. Tables boasted candles (battery operated, of course), white roses in heart shaped red bud vases for the ladies, and for the men, heart-shaped chocolates. Soft music playing in the background enhanced the dining experience.
The meal prepared by Chef Rob and the Dining team, began with a salad of baby field greens with dried apricots and almonds topped with a chocolate vinaigrette dressing. The entre, sole stuffed with scallops and crab, purple Peruvian potatoes, asparagus spires and vegetables Julian, lead to a sweet dessert ending – crème Brule cheesecake with strawberries.
Collectively, the 10 married couples represented 622 years of marriage; the longest married duo most recently celebrated their 71st anniversary. Four of the couples met at The Shores.
