a catering we will go...!


As a group,
 formed to raise money
 in aid of aged care,
 health and disadvantaged youth
in our town
our original charter said no catering

well....

that lasted about 5 minutes didn't it
and  now all we do is catering

we are home and family cooks
some of us with a great interest in food
some with a great sense of style
all of us willing to work our hearts out for a good cause

so...

 I thought you might like to see how we went
organising  a birthday  buffet  lunch for 70

The day was beautiful and the venue was this
hand crafted three sided shed 


setting the tables takes about
2 hours and the hostess wanted it simple


finally getting there


but twining the happy wanderer
 down the middle took longer than we thought!


but at last it was finished

      

these are our sweet savoury mince pies
 forgot to take photos of the rest!!!

      

our incredibly beautiful pumpkin salad

    

Oh dear I keep forgetting to take the photo at the beginning

  

and whilst the guest were eating we all sneaked out the back
for our own lunch of salad roll and a wee small drink!

 


goodnight

  7. May I just say that as much time as it took to trail the happy wanderer, it was well worth it. Visual eye-candy. I'd have fainted when I heard 70.
