A Luncheon

So far, my hardest decision regarding the wedding has been deciding just how much cooking I will do. Yesterday I made that decision.    The answer is, not much!  We sat down to lunch with the caterer and made a lot of decisions. We are having a party, the night before the wedding, at our house so that the out of towners will have something to do and all of the wedding guests will have a chance to meet each other. 

 I was planing on doing this party on my own but after much discussion, I cried uncle and offered all control up to the caterer.  I did this not so much because of the food but more so because of the work with the setup and the location of the prep area.  It will be set up in the garage.  I know from years of experience that everyone always ends up in my kitchen.  With servers and prep work, it would be a disaster.  The caterer liked my suggestion of using the garage. 

 I will also be busy with baking all of the cookies for the cookie table which will keep me very busy.

 I'm relieved.  And excited!  I will be served food in my own house...what an experience. And for two days on top of it all.  I'm finally going to have parties I look forward to attending. The caterer left, carrying an Appalcahian sweet bread and a bag full of pao de quiejo.  She said it was the best meeting she ever had.

 Something to think about other than coronavirus.
