Clara's Clan Reunion Fare

Looking back to June, 2016 -- This is a partial run-down of the fare served at the Saturday evening heavy hors d'oeurve party in Kansas City. Many of the recipes were from Clara's Clan Cook Book.
Reunions are held every other year but we are missing 2020 due to COVID-19 so it seems appropriate to reminisce as we snack on some of these treats! 

Beer Cheese 

BBQ Meatballs

Cheese Cornelias

Faye's Salmon Pate'

Fern's Veggie Dip

Kansas Caviar, aka Lorraine's Black Olive Dip

Pickled Beets

Pickled Okra

Sunflower Seed Cookies 

And, here are photos from reunions past . . . 

And, here's a poem that a cousin wrote about her Clara's children:

First came Boris to start off the clan.
Then came Kyril a right dapper young man.
Next came Fern and Faydie for some fun.
On comes Clem another little son.
Watch for June a sweet young lady.
Last is Bert Nana's spoiled baby.
Here you are just look around the room.
Nana started a real population boom.
This isn't all you can bet.
We're not done no not yet.
Years have gone and time has passed.
But this great clan is going to last.
We miss you Nana and the others up above.
But we know you're here sharing your love.
