Cooking for 35

Sunday lunch for 35 people today went well – I had a team of volunteers from the local Catholic church, who were marvellous, plus Michael’s mum came to help out as well. Fortunately I had been pre-warned that everything takes about three times longer to cook than you would normally expect it to – without that particular piece of advice, nothing would have been ready on time! The shepherd’s pie seemed to go down well with everyone, much to my relief. I suddenly have a lot more admiration for those who work in the catering industry – doing it once was hard enough!
