Wow, Bloomer, I'm impressed.   

I'd go for the whole poached salmon any time.  And lots and lots of salady things including a fresh fruit salad. 

[bloomer]

today we embark on prepping 300 fresh chicken skewers, although to be fair I am cheating as i'm using a shop bbq sauce and not making it this time to serve them with.

I wish I could come 
my favourites are quiches and anything stuffed in pastry, samosas, etc...

Have a lovely time tomorrow, you've done so well! 

[bloomer]

sorry nothfife quiche is banned...

there's a popular saying in my house that real men don't eat quiche and i'm sticking with it, (don't like the egg if i'm honest)

the only good news for this buffet which is the most elaborate i have done so far is my brother doesn't care about desserts so they are all shop bought!!! :-)

So are you a chef/caterer as well as a landscape gardener?

  My man loves quiche, but just been thinking about buffet food, I actualy would love anything that was not going to dribble dowm my front, need 2 hands to eat or takes so much chewing it falls out your mouth when taking...(eg, bacon sarnies tend to be hard to eat without a bit left dangling)!!

Annie the cooking is definitely a hobby but one i enjoy, friends and family only, i wouldn't want to do it for a living it would spoil the fun!!!

It was great to finally meet Natalie and your four lovely, beautifully behaved children today.  I'm so pleased you called and came over to see me - I know how busy house moving is.   Hope the kids all settle fine on their first day in their new school tomorrow. I look forward to seeing you all again, and happy to help any time.
