I'm off to Virgina next Thursday. We were hoping the Inn would be really quiet, and we'd have lots of time to ourselves. Guess again. So far, here's the schedule:
Thursday
7:am, get up, get to the Inn, prep breakfast. When done, get the off site catering luncheon for 100-120 ready and into the vans. Prep lunch. Prep for private wine dinner. (The inn is closed for dinner that night) Check supplies and place orders. Should be home by 10pm.
Friday
Do it all again, except the off site luncheon. Do breakfast, lunch and supper, including Chef Tastings. Also prep for Saturday's on site wedding, and the onsite appetizer party for Sunday. Should be home by 10 or 11.
Saturday
Do it all again, breakfast,lunch, supper, and on site wedding. Prep for Sunday appetizer catering. Should be home by 10.
Sunday
Do it all again, breakfast, brunch, lunch, supper, and on site appetizer party.
Monday
The Inn will be full, so back on site for breakfast for the room guests. If anyone books dinner, we'll be back there again. He may get one of the cooks to do breakfast, but trying to keep kitchen costs down.
During all of this, I need to unpack and organize his kitchen. He left that job for me. What a sweetie. So, I think my plan will be to go grocery shopping when he picks me up from the airport, otherwise, the cupboards will be bare!!! There is one new store I really want to get to. It has sections to it, ie Mexican, where they sell Mexican groceries, clothing, kitchen stuff etc. He says it's a great store. Hope I get there. And Tuesday, I fly back home. My family calls it a "working holiday" the worst is, I'm not a night owl. I'm in bed by 9:30, and up at 5am. Oy!!!!

Practice safe lunch. Use a condiment.
