Our first dinner with the caterer tonight was a winner. Small individual lasagnes, garlic toast, and a wonderful Caesar salad. And all the perfect size. We four finished every bit. In years past, we were given too much food so this year I asked them to reduce the amount of food. This is the third year we have used the same caterer but Faye the manager in charge is not working this year so I was anxious, especially when the cook Joleen had the day wrong for our arrival. They offered to make us a lunch box when we arrived, which they had done the past years. When we arrived with Mr. G. no lunch box was anywhere to be found. Joleen had the wrong day. I was fearful without the organizational skill of Faye.
But this afternoon, when Joleen brought the food, I sat down with her and went week by week to be sure what was needed and for how many people. The schedule is actually difficult but I think we are now on the same page. We have also decided to only have desserts three times a week. When we invite other dinner guests, I can merely let her know the day before. We are set for the summer.
Our system works beautifully. They decide on the menu and cook the food. Then they bring the food to our house late afternoon and put the food in the fridge, along with directions for heating. After dinner, we clean the kitchen and place their clean dishes in the table in the garage. Every evening, we get another surprise. And the best part is that Dave and Irene will pay the caterer. What a winner!!
