Yesterday was the long awaited day of the three course menu that took 4 hours to prepare and was devoured within minutes. But that means they liked it so I’m okay with that.
I did not leave the house that day. Not even into the garden. It was a very sunday-y sunday. It started with a porridge. Which doesn’t fuel me but weight it and it was more than I’d ususally have which actually filled me up more than normal and took me longer to eat. I then started prepping. I wrote down a tight schedule (not followed at all) and instructions. At 1 I started putting the squash in the oven. Then got to making the stuffing…
Most stressful moment of the day: putting the two filled squash halves together and tying them.
At 6 all final bits were cooked and dished up, dressings were stirred and knödel were partially falling apart in hot water. But it all worked out surprisingly well adn at 7 the table was set, the vino glasses were filled, the lettuce was now a salad and the squash was squashing in the oven.
