Charity Auction Successful Bidder by Herb Hoover “Wow,” I exclaimed as Jan and I were looking over the gifts on display at our annual charity auction, “this we’ve gotta have.” It was a gourmet French dinner offered by Bistro McDade. This bistro is a creation of Jim and Sheila McDade and Jim’s sister Nancy. Anybody who has ever enjoyed an evening with the McDades at their lovely home knows what that’s going to be like. Jim and Sheila are award winning chefs and they both love to cook so you can be assured of a wonderful evening. Andy and Dianna Leight went in with us and we bid $300 and won a hard fought bidding war with Susan Duvall-Serota. Susan looked so disappointed after the bidding ended the McDades generously offered another evening at their bistro and this time Susan won, so everybody went home happy. Bistro McDade was decorated in the French manner; (they are red, white, and blue too,) and we were instantly transported to Le Moulin Rouge where we were treated to an evening of French music. Some of the artists who appeared were Chas. Aznavour, Josephine Baker, Jacques Brel, Maurice Chevalier, Daniele Darrieux, and of course, the Little Sparrow, Edith Piaf. In fact, at the group’s request Piaf graciously sang her signature song, La Vi en Rose receiving a standing ovation and treating us to a number of encores. OK, now get ready to drool; check out the menu: First, Marinated Prawns with Champagne Beurre Blanc sauce, served on the most beautiful patio you can imagine. Wine too, of course. Then we went inside to a beautifully decorated dining room. The centerpiece on the table was a tall Eiffel Tower covered with candles which was almost as spectacular as the second course which was Creme of Tomato Soup with Puff Pastry Crust. Believe me, this soup never saw a Campbell’s can; it was made from scratch with heirloom tomatoes. Wine too, of course. The main course was Boeuf Parisienne (filet roast) with Gratin Savoyard ( scalloped potatoes) and Broccolini with toasted almonds. Wine too of course. The finale, a delicious desert consisting of French Apple Croustade (French Apple Pie). Wine too, of course!! Bistro McDade doesn’t miss the details either. For example each napkin holder was a replica of something French. Mine was an Eiffel Tower and oh yes, we each got a wine bottle stopper in the form of an Eiffel tower. A fabulous four hours spent with GOOD friends, great conversation, awesome food, and, wine too, of course. We hope the Bistro will do this again, and soon, please!!!!! the drifter - Sacramento Valley Region - Porsche Club of America - www.svr-pca.org Page 11
