So the event last night, I had to carve the same meat that I carved at the first wedding I did. Now, the first time, the meat was everywhere, I was making a mess out of myself and the cutting board and the meat and myself (yes, I said myself twice). THIS time, however. Not only did I get to CARVE the meat ... I got to cook all of it. Four giant tenderloins. MY responsibility for a huge group of people. Was I terrified? Indeed. By some stroke of luck, or perhaps I"m a culinary genius, you decide, I cooked all four perfectly! Even Jim McGuirk would have been in hog heaven. Then, I got to carve my beautiful meat.. and I didn't make a mess. It was a giant win in my book.
During my beautiful meat carving, a lovely older woman came up to me. She reminded me of Grandma Larson, she just started chatting about how long they had been coming to Sea Pines and how beautiful of a job we were doing. She was wonderful.
Today we catered another event for Georgia Tech... To which all the same ol' faces were there. Including my little lady, who again complimented all of us on the job we were doing. I got to work a more active station, I got to cook chicken and vegetables for a souvlaki LIVE. That was very exciting. Despite it being a 2 1/2 hour event... to which my feet were less than happy.
Tomorrow, up super early for ze gym (Yes Tom, ze gym... shooting for 7AM) and then a nice long day of work!
Me being a TOTAL geek.. but look at the hat I have to wear while working events. So weird.
Literally LOVE catering. I got to make these X240 :) All the same.


Amy,
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I would be so worried about ruining the meat. You look like Elvis Costello in a chef's hat! Good luck at the gym. Are you increasing the weight that you lift? Wait until the Heritage weekend. It will be unbelievable. Dad
Great post! So fun to read about your work.
