I am actually being productive today, which is pretty rare for a Sunday. I am making vegetable stock and finishing up my sister's bridal shower invitations AND blogging. I should get some kind of productivity award.
So, last weekend, I did a catering event at my parent's house for school. The whole premise was that we create a menu for a school project. We then had to have photographs of the food, so, we made the food and did a tasting for some family and friends. Tini and 2 of my other fellow culinarians were there helping out. All in all, I would say it was a success. It was our first time doing something like this and our timing sucked. But, the food rocked. And since there are many of you that do not know me in person and therefore have never tasted anything I have cooked, I wanted to share some of the photographs here. Enjoy!

I know how this is for me, so I'm assuming that it's the same way for you, but whenever I say "vichyssoise" I always follow it up with "a cold potato-leek soup". I think that we're just awesome that way.
Let me know how school goes tomorrow.
Looks fabulous. Want to come live in my kitchen forever? I'm trying to convince Alton Brown to do the same, so you'd have a buddy. What do you think?
Sure. What do you pay?
Pay? Um, in snuggles? Or beer? You'd get to live with Alton Brown woman! Be reasonable. :)
Oooooh, the scallops... Ooooh, the short ribs..... Ooooh, the wilted salad...... Thanks for the recap. I'm sitting at work drooling.
Oh, I am totally fine with being paid in beer. :)
