We've had several Catering events this past week. Thursday night we cooked for the Gutierrez clan, 13 people. They had gone fishing the previous day and had us cook up two different types of fish from their catch along with some mac & cheese, mixed veggies, coconut rice, greek salad, and a pineapple custard with ice cream for dessert. The group loved every bit of it!
Last night we catered to a group of 40 for a Wedding Rehearsal Dinner. The menu was incredible... starting off with crab cakes, coconut shrimp, and mini caprese skewers for appetizers. We then moved on to bigger and better things with Alaska King Crab, fish, chicken, and beef, mashed potatoes, and grilled vegetables to choose from. Topped off with brownies and ice cream for dessert, the entire party was stuffed to the gills.
I have to say that despite the delectable cuisine, the coolest thing about last night's Rehearsal Dinner was definitely the fashion. Mostly everyone arrived in traditional Nigerian apparel, with a different fabric for each family. The Bride explained to us that because she and the Groom both have parents from Nigeria they wanted to do something different and cool to celebrate their roots for their special day. This particular group was some of the nicest most laid-back and also appreciative people we have served. We feel very lucky to have been a part of the festivities. Congratulations Tim & Jenn.... we'll be thinking of you guys today at 4:00 while you're tying the knot!
