Personal Chef Service, Event Planning, Seafood Bakes & BBQ's

A couple of weeks ago, I had the privilege of preparing and serving five beautiful ladies dinner. As we were packing up at the end of the evening, I kept thinking about how inspirational the whole evening had been. I left feeling great! While my husband and I were setting up, the ladies started coming downstairs one by one, and they were all fabulously dressed for a special evening. As the wine and well deserved compliments started to flow, we began to get to know our clients and learned that they all worked together at a school. We started the evening off with a beautiful charcuterie board on the porch, followed by surf & turf martinis along with savory sausage & pepper skewers. As I served, I got to hear tidbits of conversation, and was blown away by the praise and admiration that they shared for each other. As the night went on, I noticed one or two ladies excuse themselves and return wearing more laid back attire; it was time for comfort and dinner. We moved to the dining area with a cucumber pineapple gazpacho then a roasted broccoli salad. The conversation, throughout dinner of sautéed chicken breast and jumbo shrimp in a lemon basil sauce over home made pasta and seared garlic green beans, continued to be uplifting and fun. The stories that I enjoyed were so refreshing, there was not any griping or negativity from these lovely people. In a job that I can only imagine is trying, frustrating and challenging, I did not hear any complaining from them. They laughed, praised their students and best of all, celebrated each other. As we served some sweet bites, I noticed some had changed into pajamas. We took our leave as they settled in and began to play some games.  After we did a final once-over to make sure the kitchen was clean and all our cooking gear was packed and ready to go, the ladies thanked us again for helping make their night so wonderful and memorable. We couldn't help but feel the same way to them. Thank you ladies, can't wait to do it again.
