I was exhausted and fell asleep immediately I closed my eye.... What a fun reception they had a great band with two male and two female singers and we were up and dancing most if the night
We had our reception there almost 29 years ago but they have expanded the venue and even added a hotel since then. it us no longer the quaint English hunting club style but it was lovely and elegant
vixmom, sounds like a fun time was had by all!
Wonderful notes on the closing night of MR BK's SHOW.......kudos to ALL.
Good morning. I overslept - until 6:15. These days one has to get up at 4 to go hiking.
The food was amazing wth a huge cocktail hour to start and Viennese hour to finish
It must have cost them a fortune
More than half of the men seemed to think. Black tie meant a suit but there were still plenty of tuxedos and Vixdad looked dapper and elegant
I didn't want to drag my camera to the event and not having a smartphone I have no pictures but my coworkers took plenty and have promised to email them so once I get them I will stare a couple
My meal was filet mignon served medium rare, tender and perfect with a lovel wine sauce, a few asparagus spears, a carrot, some mushrooms and tiny roasted tomatoes and a wedge of of delicate hash browns. I wish I had my camera for my description does not adequately describe the dish or the lovely presentation
Knowing there would be an excellent meal to follow I restricted my self to a couple of steamed dumplings, one scallop and one shrimp (they also had the fried versions of each) also a Couple of small pancakes of Peking duck from the Asian food table and a couple of small pieces a flank steak from the carving table oh a a quiche from the passed trays. They also had tiny glasses of tomato soup with a tiny piece of grilled cheddar cheese sandwich as a garnish. That was good too
This GUYS & DOLLS overture is a bitch! Lotta notes.
I fear my day -- nay, my week -- will never live up to vixmom's posts.
What the HELL? Did someone die and get whisked off to an eater's Paradise, or what?

About how many people were there?

Vixmom to coworkers: "Oh, dear. I mentioned the wedding on that blog I participate in and they ALWAYS want to see pictures. I can't say I didn't take any."
Cooperative coworkers to Vixmom: "No worries, dear. We'll take plenty."

Lovel is delicate herb, not well known, but can add a distinctive touch.

I know what a cocktail hour is, but what is a Viennese hour?
A Viennese hour is where they have a selection of desserts and aperitifs. For the desserts they had at least 30 different types of cakes, cannoli so, crime bruises, brownies, napoleons, cream puffs, eclaires, chocolate pudding, jellies, rice pudding, ice cream, tiramisu, fresh fruit, a chocolate fountain, two or three types of ice cream and all the toppings you can imagine, waffles with fresh piped whipped cream and fresh fruit, and I know I am forgetting tons of things

Some men I've known: "Black tie? You gotta be kidding! I'll wear a suit. that's the best they'll git!"

Oh my goodness! That sounds incredible! AND incredibly expensive!
Today was our second annual day of service at church.... I was in charge of the clothing drive my team and I sorted and bagged 45 large trash size bags of clothes
The person running that activity shared this story:
A woman came over wheeling a shopping cart with five bags filled to the brimmed with canned goods she said I only came in for butter... Took her lb of butter and lefts the rest for the food drive!!
We've already been contacted by one theater who had a show fall through, but I'm not raising money for the show, and that's what would have to happen. But she called because the buzz from the folks who've seen it has been so incredible. I know what would be optimal and we're meeting about it this week. Send excellent vibes and xylophones about that. But when every show is pretty much sold out, something that never happens these days at LACC, that's really saying something. I already miss the show and especially the entire company including the tech folks.

A chocolate fountain? I don't think I've ever heard of one. Is that a fountain made of chocolate or a fountain flowing with chocolate?
John G, where are you?

Editing the new editions of it and How to Succeed In Business without Really Trying.
I knew it was in the works for some time but it all just came to fruition in the past week.

What's really nice about it is that the person who had applied for the restorations/reconstructions then asked me to edit because he wants to learn from me. I like mentoring, and i would have done it for nothing, but the payments a nice bonus.

Crime bruises? When people get mugged afterwards in the parking lot? Or maybe some of the guests fighting over the last of the desserts.

The cocktail hour was huge there was one table with all Italian ant pasta items including a fresh mozzarella that was being stretched and double and cut to order...a seafood table with shrink, scallops, mussels, crablegs, a pasta table with rigatoni in a pink sauce and I g forget the other items....

TCB, you asked me if I ever mistype a word on a regular basis. I do. It's "insurnace" and I, of course, work for a company that sells insurance.

Hmmm, let me check with Freud.
Well, Michael Fassbinder and Marion Cotillard are fine Macbeths and the visual staging is interesting, if somewhat Hollywoodish (cathedrals lit with hundreds of candles on all kinds of nonsensical levels far above the actors' heads and not part of chandeliers). But the pacing of this movie is deadly slow.
