A brunch party
We all have ways to we like to express our affection for friends and family, and I’ve discovered that my preferred strategy is hosting parties. I apparently specialize in wedding-related parties (e.g. showers, bachelor(ette) parties, engagement parties), but will take a birthday party or a going away party or anything else that might be thrown my way. Want to celebrate that it’s Thursday? I’ll throw you a bash that will make Thursday the new Saturday. Oh. Well, that kind of already happened. But that might just be on college campuses, or for other people who don’t actually have to get up and be in an office on Friday mornings (soon to be ME!). In any case, our Thursday Celebration party will be awesome, and it will have lots of food.
I love the process of putting together a party meal – pouring over recipes, designing serving style (finger food? cut in slices? circles? spooned?) and picking servingware, puzzling together a menu within the constraints of timing and oven space and transport. I love seeing it all laid out on the table, and more than anything I love seeing people enjoying the food and getting feedback on what people liked. Read more
