baby shower catering thoughts…
In a little more than a week I’m hosting a baby shower for my friend Abby who I did Caged Dames with. I’ve prepared a nice menu of food and I’m looking forward to spending several days cooking. Seriously. There is nothing more I love doing than cooking HUGE batches of food for people I like.
This morning when I woke up I went over my final plans for the menu and have pinged the co-hosts about it. Suddenly, a strange thought came over me.
Would I like to get into catering?
Here’s the thing. I love food. I love cooking, I love eating, and I love trying new things out in the kitchen. But what I love more than all of the above is the look on a persons face when they eat my food and enjoy it.
The quickest way to my heart is to compliment me on my cooking.
So there I was, pencil in hand, a scattering of recipes on the table, thinking this might just be something I love doing enough to try making a small living at it. Of course, I am not the best cook in the world. Nor am I the best at shopping and planning menus. But to gain a skill, you must do it over and over again.
This party will be the first big one in my new home. There will be several more this year and I intend to keep making them better each time.
So here we go. Time to get my cook ON!
