Catering is Hard Work and a Tag!

Okay, who knew catering was such a hard job? We really had fun helping my sister in law with her first big catering job. She had to feed over 200 people for a wedding and she did a great job. Look what job I had assigned to me, the dishes! LOL Can't get away from those dang gone dishes no matter where I go. LOL But it was not so bad, everyone worked together really well and we had fun too. Here's a few photos.
Chocolate covered strawberries, these pretties flew off the table.
She made all of these beef tenderloins along with chicken, green beans, mashed potatoes etc.....These were so good and they were covered with rosemary.
My sweetie and Karen putting the finishing touches on the seared tuna. These babies were so good. And I got relieved from dish duty to help put these together.
Everyone decided to have a little fun while helping. A little wine and good food.........
The bride's aunt made a chocolate chip cheesecake for the wedding. She told us to cut it with dental floss. Has anyone ever heard of that before? It actually took too long to do and we went back to using a knife. I guess it was suppose to make it a cleaner cut but it was time consuming. All in all it was a success for my sister in law and she also got alot of people wanting her info for future catering jobs. My sweetie and I told her we would help anytime. But I have to tell you I was tired the next day. LOL

LOL I'll have some more photos of the "backyard project" later in the week. I am the project engineer so it's coming along. Also everyone has been sick in my house for the past few days, Maddie is just having a really rough time of it and I've been feeling it trying to get me now. Yuck, I hate being sick and we are all going to the Amish Country this weekend so I want it long gone by then. So helping with the sick little ones and being the project engineer for the backyard has made me behind in my blog visiting but I hope to catch up with everyone real soon. Don't forget about Brenda's Photo Challenge on October 18th. The theme is old and you can sign up here. I will be out of town but will have my photos scheduled to be posted. Have a great Tuesday!
