Our son is getting married on Friday, and there will be a reception for about 200. Thankfully that is all laid on at the Old Mill in Toronto. But the happy couple have asked us to play host to more than 30 people for the rehearsal dinner on Wednesday, and to serve breakfast, or brunch, to half a dozen groomsmen on the day of the wedding. On Saturday, we will have a whole crowd of our friends and relatives from out of town over for drinks and a barbecue. We are serving tapas and tapas like dishes for the rehearsal dinner, and are getting a head start on it today -- Spanish meatballs with a lot of garlic nutmeg; a white bean salad, also Spanish; roasted red peppers; a whole salmon, poached and served cold, probably with curry mayonnaise; a couple of large Spanish tortillas (egg, potato and onion); and some desserts. The groom and his pals get scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, and fruit. For the bbq we will keep it simple and do burgers with potato salad and probably a huge apple crisp for dessert. After all this we will be happy to head out to our country place and collapse for a week or two. |

That sounds like a delightful spread you are putting on for the rehearsal party. Exciting times are ahead! Is this the last of the kids to get married ? |

" Killing the fatted calf" is a saying my dad used on the farm when we hosted a crowd of family! Heat you're a "good papa" the barbecue and breakfast I could master but the "rehearsal dinner" too much work! Congrats to you all on this happy occasion! |

That is Matt I presume? Am I remembering his name accurately. I really remember him as a classy intelligent and socially adept young man. Congratulations. Sure wish I could sneak in and taste it all. |

Reminds me when my daughter was getting married. We had about 30 people come from the UK and others from the US . All the groom wanted for his rehearsal dinner Steak! He told me not to worry about the cost they were taking care of the Steaks. We went shopping and all the fellas did was comment on how inexpensive the meat was here. They spent nearly 500 dollars on all kinds of steaks sausages and other goodies.. had quite a bit left for my freezer too.. Beef was at a low then because not long prior was the outbreak of Mad Cow Disease. These occasions are the best get togethers Congratulations to your family.. :th_th36_1_11: |
