$500 per plate dinner tonight

  Re: (...)
As a work assignment for Hubby, we *have to* attend the Athletic Assn's fundraiser tonight. Cost is $500 per person. Lots of former Illinois athletes will be there. Had to quickly get a new dress because I didn't have anything appropriate that fit (happy problem! ). So, I'll let you know what people in the midwest think qualifies for a meal at that crazy price tomorrow.

Must be Kobe beef, Iranian caviar, truffled rissoto, with Dom Perinone (sp?), and a '45 Petrus.

You know, the funny thing is, sometimes the more expensive the event, the smaller the food is. It works for me, but not always for Ron. Hope you have a wonderful time and like the others, I'll be waiting to hear about the menu.

Congratulations on needing a new dress!

So, here is what we had.... We thought it was very good, but no Iranian caviar to be found. The fundraiser was for Deron Williams' foundation. I had the photographer take a picture of me with him, so when I get that, I'll post it too.

Hmmmmm, $500.00 - three courses? At least they got lots of $$$$ for the pot. Nice selection of course offerings, tho.
