I don't know how you find the time or energy to do everything you do - I get exhausted just reading about your stuff 
ps any chance of a doggy bag - just a big chunk of each of the cakes and a flask of soup

How dare you ask for cake?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  you are only allowed the soup, CC

So, Poolie, how did it go and - more importantly - what did you call it?!

I survived and no one has come down with food poisoning so it counts as a success

Food all went well and I got the quantites right on the soup front and sandwich front but rather overcatered with the cakes We treid making people take a bag of cake when they left, food for the journey

I ended up with 3 people to stay as we are short of B&B round here. The bed and breakfast isn't a problem but on Thursday afternoon I suddenly realised that they would need an evening meal on Friday and Saturday ahhhh! How do I find time to do that while preparing the food for Saturday???

Thank goodness for a well stocked freezer! Out came 2 bags of bolognese type mince and mash on top with grated chees and hey presto cottage pie. We had some blackcurrant icecream andmeringued left from a couple of weeks ago so dessert sorted.

On Saturday I was really struggling to find a meal for 5 that took no effort but did jacket spuds and found 2 boxes of "turkey au vin" and a box of chestnut casserole plus frozen peas, just pud to think of..... my all time easy standby pud.......spicy peaches with bought icecream, phew, we made it. Freezer to the rescue


ps called them "ham with mustard mayo" thanks
