My friend said she wished that they had asked me to do the reception as well but that was her parents deal. The caterer was abysmal...not one homemade dish on the entire buffet.<br /><br />Who was it that mentioned the blog...Alisha?? Thanks whoever it was...LOL Im too lazy to go back and read! I think Im just going to leave it like this. I like the simplified look...makes me think my old one was too busy. I love the red...think it makes the pictures stand out more. Now I just have to email foodbuzz editorial and have them send me a different sized ad code.

That looks like a lot of work, and the food looks wonderful. I also recently catered a small wedding, and I was exhausted afterwards too by the way. No one in my family ever really understands why, which makes it even harder ;)!<br />p.s. As Samuel L Jackson said in Pulp Fiction 'I just don't dig on swine' either Jilly! *giggle* Sorry if I've used that one on you before. It makes me laugh every time I think of it. I say it to people who ask me with a lot of disdain or hostility why I'm a vegetarian or don't eat pork, etc (smile)...Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441053969652689705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175177196532778107.post-2440018507651985432010-08-07T10:08:46.396-04:002010-08-07T10:08:46.396-04:00Thanks Dennis!

We had an AMAZING party..actually it was head over heels better than the reception (oops..did I say that?). I HAD a picture of the strawberry cake sliced but it was fuzzy so I deleted it. In truth, I was running around like a chicken keeping things filled and tending the buffet (keeping the kids from burning the gazebo down by knocking over the candles and sternos) that I didn't get as many pictures of the food as I would like to have gotten. I think most people left there with their arms held straight out beside them so we'd know if they were rolling or walking!Jillyannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13197452639201993785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175177196532778107.post-21378629847181753632010-08-07T09:36:18.792-04:002010-08-07T09:36:18.792-04:00hi Jill

It looks like you had one humdinger of a party!!! all the food looks great and I bet everything was a hit with those folks!! I'm not of a red meat eater anymore, but I would have gotten in line for that pulled pork, and of course the mac and cheese!! Now you have to show us a pic of that strawberry cake sliced its sooooooo big!!!!! that would have been my first choice followed by a few more of those lovely desserts! You would have had to roll me out of there!<br />Thanks for sharing such a wonderful post with us!<br />DennisChef Dennis Littleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05388059515828451861noreply@blogger.com
