What pleasure it is to not have to exhaust myself cleaning at home prior to this party!<br /><br />I just want to read, write and cook.

Although I will say that I could cater to 40 people with only a camping stove if I had to. I guess I love the challenge of it as much as anything!T. https://www.blogger.com/profile/16509409207991963533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937211191284874151.post-23417207493159627362010-12-17T01:12:23.545-08:002010-12-17T01:12:23.545-08:00Tis the season.

The work you were doing to close out the end and gear up for the next - that sounds very satisfying.<br /><br />So do the soups -- my wife has been seeking the perfect corn chowder recipe, as it happens. So if you want to share yours.....<br /><br />tonight the wind is blowing hard and the rain is coming down...and I can't sleep. Sheesh.

Every end of term was just like that; a nightmare.<br /><br />Re Your cooking. We have two ovens; one bottled gas, the other wood fired. How anyone can feed more that 4 people without 2 ovens I don't know. 40? I think you need even more!Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.com
