Midnight buffet with the travelers for Matt's wedding. 9/30/2017
Breakfast on the run--Friday with sleep over guests.
Andy and I went to Sam's this morning (Wednesday) before he was off to school. He attends OSU every day now because he loves the courses and does not want to drop one. We had Sam's to ourselves which is unusual. I spun around in the cart and Andy was on foot and we were done with a car load in a jiffy. We got lovely things and right now I have two crock pots burbling away one with beef stew in wine and vegetables and the other with a big pork shoulder that I have plans for in several dishes. Everything looked good today so I made a pig of myself and bought what I thought our guest would enjoy over their stay. And, don't forget the Cincy gang is staying over in a hotel and coming here on Sunday for a big feast. So there will be few left overs...even so, I know what to do with those as well.
In the guest rooms I have snacks and waters on a tray in each room and I will go in search of flowers to brighten things up at some point, although they only have to look out the window for flowers in great array which are giving up their last gasp and looking lovely.
Sam's had such great meat and fish today and I am itching to get to work on those items. The vegetables were lovely and fresh, so that's another thought. Well, no one is home and it is quiet and that is when love to work in the kitchen. I do take several sit down rests in between dishes and clean up because the schedule is full and I need to be on foot.
As far as the wedding attire, I bought the last thing today which is a tube of lipstick to match my dress. I think we are all set. Nate is a little nervous since he plays an important role as best man and get- me- to- the- church on time guy with the groom. Andy and I have no role to play, so we are happy and calm. Beth and Mike host the rehearsal dinner Friday night. Mike is pleased to be able to bring baby Madeleine home Saturday for a night with he and Beth and to greet the company on Sunday.
Ahhh well, it will all work out and then it's done.
