This past weekend was a busy one. I was asked to provide some food for a bridal shower. It was a small event, but then it got bigger. And so I made my food plans bigger, too.
In the end, I made ginger spice cookies, raspberry sweet creams, savory egg salad sliders, a large autumn spice cake with cream cheese frosting, a large batch of mac and cheese, and a large batch of Swedish visiting cakes.
That's a lot of food. But you know what? It was a lot of fun to make in a short time. To do that, one has to create the menu carefully to ensure that it can done. Then one has to shop. Then one has schedule the preparation. And finally it has to be cooked, mixed, baked, etc. This was all done within about 24 hours from the start of the first food to the end of the last one.
When it was all done, it was time to load it into boxes and coolers, and then into the car. And then it was delivered.
In the end, there were a lot of smiles for all this food from the attendees. That's my biggest reward. Making good food for people who sincerely enjoy it is a pleasure. And it's darn good way to make the world a better place.
