Christmas Dinner, Haystack Style, December 8



The Annual Parish Christmas Dinner will haystack style.  It will be held following our regular services on Sunday, December 8.  The dinner is being hosted and coordinated by the Choir.  Please plan to join us for this special event.

Now, you may be wondering, "What is a haystack style dinner?"  I wasn't sure either so I looked it up on Wikipedia.
haystackA haystack (of food) is a dish composed of a starchy food (Fritos, tortilla chips, rice, or saltine crackers), topped by a protein (beans, grated cheddar cheese, taco-seasoned meat, and/or a vegetarian meat alternative), in combination with fresh vegetables (shredded lettuce, tomatoes, olives, peppers), and garnished with various condiments (guacamole, sour cream, Ranch or Italian dressing, ketchup and/or salsa). Haystacks are conceptually like a deconstructed tostada. The haystack ingredients are served individually and assembled on the plate by the person who will be eating it.
