We had 19 booked, (well, it was actually 25, but I had forgotten to put a table of 6 in the book), and ended up full again! Didn't have to turn anyone away this week though...
I put on a Brie and bacon salad as one of the starters, and it sold very well. In fact so well, that it outsold the soup. Now there's a first! Perhaps it was the fact that the soup was pasta and lentil, and not everyone's cup of tea. here's a picture of the salad. Not a great one, but it'll give you an idea...
We ummed and arred about the desserts this week, and settled on a Lemon cheesecake, apple crumble and poached pears in cider. We normally make a big dish of crumble, but chose this week to serve them individually. Here's a couple of pics...
All things were running incredibly smoothly considering how busy we were, that is, until the six that I had forgotten to book in arrived. It wasn't just the fact that 6 walked in, it's that they walked in at exactly the same time as the 2 table of fours booked at 2pm and the 1.45's who were 15 minutes late, AND the 1.30's who were 30 minutes late!! 20 people all at the same time. Some times, all the planning in the world, and chaos! The following 30 minutes were a little tricky, but we muddled through.
Home at a reasonable hour for a play in the pool with Harrison and Susana and then settled down to watch X Factor and Match of the Day 2! Pretty similar to last night really, although I managed to avoid the humiliation of my 6 year old son out driving me on the X box!
A day off work tomorrow, although lots of things to do. Laura is starting up her own business called Crafted Gift Creations, (www.facebook.com/CraftedGiftCreations), so we have to head over to Benidorm to source some stock etc. It's exciting, yet scary! Haven't really got the money at the moment, but hey, if you don't try, you don't get.... We'll see how things go. She only started marketing her page 2 days ago, and already has some orders, so fingers crossed.
Nite nite all,
Speak to you soon
Slimbo!
