Tale of Two Raws

You know, catering isn’t all that easy. This week we are doing an event for 40 or so people, and this is the second event I have been on the working end. When someone decides to have a party and is overwhelmed enough, or in our case, wants something unusual that no one has seen before, (sort of like those Oscar dresses the stars demand), they don’t think for a nano second about the work that goes into making the stuff they have chosen. And, I suppose they shouldn’t.

Joan (and sometimes me)  diligently try to make the whole process seem effortless from the hand holding about how many Pinwheels will satisfy how many people to the actual design of the table decorations. And then there is the schlepping. On one job we used three people with three packed to the roof cars! I know I sound kind of whiny - I shouldn’t write when I’m tired, because I really enjoy the whole process.

But if you are considering getting into the business beware, it’s not like making Aunt Emma’s famous wiener rolls and organizing the company pot luck.

Honestly? I’m writing this post because I’m stalling writing a press release, and now it’s time for bed..clever, aren’t I?
