Foot in mouth again

Two years ago Sue became exasperated at the poor quality of catering for the meal after the annual tournament at our Bridge Club.  So, in 2015 we did the catering as we blogged at the time. 

One unexpected consequence of this happened when a couple from the club asked us if we would do the meal for the Baptism of their grandson.  We agreed (difficult to say no!) but we hadn't realised that it would be for 60!!
So Sue began to get organised over the past couple of months, but then from last Wednesday the cooking began in earnest.  It reached fever-pitch on Saturday when we were cooking till 10 at night, then on Sunday we were up at 6. 
It would have been easier if it hadn't been nearly 40° when we were taking the food to the venue, an old chateau which is being restored.  Unfortunately the chateau doesn't yet have plumbing or water and Sue had to finish off the dishes in a small room next to the hall being used for the Baptism.
None the less, I'm pleased to report that everyone was satisfied with the meal, even Sue.
We were kindly invited back in the evening and we were then able to sample some of the left-overs!
