Two trapeze artists (aerial dancers, I think they prefer) are getting married this weekend, and I’m doing the food. It’s about 125 people, so I’m a little nervous, but I think it’ll be fine. John and Megan and Jake are coming to help. I’m only making some <\/em>of the food – I’m not doing the cake, and they’re getting snack platters from Willy Street’s catering to tide everybody over from the the ceremony at 2:00 until dinner at 4:00.<\/p>\n

<\/a>I spent most the day today shopping and procuring. The water was out at my house – they’re digging up the next street over, and when I got back from my morning walk, a city utility guy was hanging an orange tag on my front door that said the water was going to be shut off at 9:45, for 2 – 4 hours. It must be because I walked home past the construction last night, the road down to dirt, and big trucks & equipment all over the place – and felt smug that they weren’t on my street – so of course I had to get affected, today, even a street away.<\/p>\n

I didn’t start cooking until about 4:30. I made the filling for the strudels – I seem to have way too much of the spinach rice. And I think I overbought on broccoli and especially lettuce. I ordered bulk organic salad mix from the co-op, and that comes in 3-lb bags. I got three = 9 lbs. Then I read something online that said 15 pounds of lettuce for 100, so I bought 4 clamshells at Costco – the Costco imperative to overbuy – even though I knew, the last time I bought one<\/em> of those Costco lettuce clamshells, it fed 30 people, with a few handfuls leftover. And, once I thawed all the bread ends I had in the freezer to make the 12 cups of bread crumbs I needed, I sure shouldn’t have bought that extra Costco baguette 2-pack (can’t be only ONE loaf in a pack from Costco; multi-pack is the only size they carry) – I just put it back into one of the bags from the bread I thawed, and stuck it in the freezer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
