As this is an annual reunion we were up there again this afternoon for this-year&#8217;s reunion. However, this year\u00a0my mom&#8217;s side of the family gathered at\u00a0the recently-built Millington Community Center. There weren&#8217;t as many people there this year, but we had a great time with those\u00a0who were there. My Aunt Carol has never let me take a picture of her &#8230; soooo, here she is with Uncle Rudy (my mom&#8217;s youngest brother) from about 50 feet away. Gotcha, Aunt Carol!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.micuisine.com\/images\/lunapiercook\/saeger2008\/saeger08_rudy_carol_web.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"253\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Of course, that photo of Rudy &amp; Carol matches Rudy up with a few photos <a href=\"http:\/\/oldmillingtonguys.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Old Millington Guy<\/a> has posted on his blog in the past &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The potluck buffet was rather extensive this year:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.micuisine.com\/images\/lunapiercook\/saeger2008\/saeger08_buffet_web.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"385\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On rare occasion we&#8217;ll end up with too many of one kind of dish. This year the big favorite appeared to be bowls of fresh cherry tomatoes. At one point in the\u00a0afternoon I counted eight of these bowls of tomatoes, most of the bowls being fairly large! We also ended up with a lot of variations of Deviled Eggs. Still, the eggs were gone after a while and there were only two bowls of tomatoes by the time we left.<\/p>\n<p>People didn&#8217;t go as overboard as they usually do with desserts this year:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.micuisine.com\/images\/lunapiercook\/saeger2008\/saeger08_desserts_web.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"253\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There were only a few pies, some cookie bars, brownies on toothpicks, and lots of finger-style desserts. And no, there weren&#8217;t a lot of dessert leftovers!<\/p>\n<p>I never plan early enough for this event.\u00a0 This year I made the Penne\u00a0&amp; Sausage. The sausage, however, was Johnsonville Bratwurst, sliced diagonally and saut\u00e9ed in a roast garlic &amp; basil olive oil, then sauce added to the assembled dish. Maybe it&#8217;s time I started thinking about what to make for next year?
