Oak Ridge Boys

At SUU they had a Holiday Gala for all the people who have donated money to SUU. Abe's grandma was invited and we went with her. The dinner was very fancy. The salad had pomegranates, apples, candied walnuts, goat cheese with a raspberry vinaigrette. The main course was turkey with green bean almondine, baked sweet dumpling squash with currant orange stuffing, truffle scented smashed potatoes, sage gravy, and fresh cranberry salsa. So pretty much it was a glorified turkey dinner. Most of it was delicious except the vegetables were not cooked enough for me. Finally the dessert was pumpkin mousse filled chocolate cups, gingerbread cookie, garnished with candied orange peels and cranberry coulis.

I had to write down all the menu because it sounds so delicious and fancy. During the dinner they had the Oak Ridge Boys come in and sing us a song. They were doing a concert that night that we were all going to after dinner. In case anyone doesn't know who the Oak Ridge Boys are, they song they are most famous for is Elvira.

The concert was a lot of fun too. I usually don't like concerts but I think it's because they are usually filled with raving teenagers. The concert was part of their Christmas tour so they had santa come out and he handed out santa hats to the kids in the audience. There were a lot of kids, they just kept coming we all had a good laugh, and they were saying that they might not have enough hats for Idaho which was the next tour stop. Also during intermission they were having a drawing for free stuff and they asked a kid or two to come help on stage and about 15 kids ran up there. One of them was a little girl about two years old I'd say, when he thanked the kids they all left except her. It was cute. The kids were funny. It was a good night.
