Well. 14 and a half hours later, my day is over. (Course I have to start all over again @7AM tomorrow). We had a plated dinner for 200 tonight, in a tent. The wind was howling, it was pouring, thunder, lightening, and of course running late because the guests (major contributors to UNH) had to schmooze and drink all the free alcohol. There were times I thought the tents were going to blow down. And let's not forget the cold. I'm amazed we were able to keep 200 dinners warm and not overcooked, being held in the Carter-Hoffmans (warmers).
Especially since or maybe because they were cooked in stages over the last 2 days.
Our menu:
Crudite
Cheese and crackers
Bibb lettuce, mesclun, chevre, shaved red onion, cuke and tomato w/lemon mint vin
Filet w/a tomato hollandaise
Salmon
Baby potatoes
Steamed baby veg
Ciabatta (I know I spelled that wrong, too tired for spell check)
Assorted mini pastries, made by our pastry chef
Good thing is, they start on coffee, we walk away.
Pretty simple menu but very good, who doesn't love a free filet and salmon dinner?
Another 8 or 9 hours and I'll have 2 days off! (One thing I'm NOT going to do is spend it doing housework!!!)
And that's my day
