12 hours cooking
3 girlfriends together by chance on a weeknight
2 bars, 1 banoffee pie, and too many new faces to remember
2:30 haphazard bedtime
6:30 wake up on best friend’s couch
½ cup of coffee to start the day before sunrise
3 minute drive back to the kitchen
40 slices of mozzarella and tomato shingled in a spiral on a bed of kale
96 pounds of artichoke spinach dip made in 5 heavy batches
1:00 late lunch of salad, rice and chocolate-covered strawberry
30 pounds of assorted cheese cut in cubes for plating
4 dishwashers playing prep cook
83 pounds of Dijon potato salad in plastic bus tubs
35 pounds of crudite – peppers, tomatoes, carrots, celery, cucumber and squash
2 quarts of Cesar dressing that breaks at the last minute, oil drops glistening and popping
10 minutes to clean the station for tomorrow
1 bundle of kitchen towels stashed away for the morning
13:03 hours punched on the timeclock
25 minute drive home in the dark
1 candle lighting up the patio garden
1 husband and 2 cats to welcome home
too many blessings to count
That was the best! We need to do that more often. :-)
