Last week Friday was opening night for the new play "I Love to Eat" at Portland Center Stage, located at the Gerding Theater at the Armory.

"This new play celebrates the life and talant of a Portland, OR original – James Beard "

A delectable dinner, catered by Art of Catering, preceded the first show.

Of course, edibles had to be the focus of the centerpieces. Instead of using vegetables for the  containers, I glued edible leaves, such as kale, cabbage, spinach as well as asparagus stalks and rosemary stems on inexpensive vessels. A time consuming project, but worth the effort! And then the fun part started!

Thank you Joni for the great pictures!
