« Tooth Picker | Main | Too Much Time On My Hands » I Hope They Are Edible
November 17, 2005
It's been a crazy week of last minute Trick meetings, home projects and preparation for The Greatest Food Holiday in All The Land. Tuesday night we had a meeting with Christmas Client who wanted to re-work the menu. "Tweak it a little". Now, I am not one to judge. Yeah, Ok, even I didn't buy that. But unless those centerpieces are edible, I'm thinking you want to rework that budget a little bit, or there's going to be a room full of people snacking on candle wax and Christmas greens.

My recent client (the one I just blogged about this past week) did the same thing, spending all her time and money getting these wheatgrass planters "grown especially for this client" and finding sports action figures to put in them so it looked like they were playing in the grass. well, you know, what~ever. Let me serve you hot dogs two ways. UGH!

Posted by: Lil at November 18, 2005 03:19 AM I was at a family Christmas function where an uncle decided to eat some of the "decorative" holly berries that my cousin had placed in the punch. Consumption of holly berries can cause vomiting and diarrheoa, with drowsiness, coma, and death occurring in severe cases (which fortunately rarely happens). Twenty berries may constitute a lethal dose. Boy, the rest of the evening was FUN. Posted by: leigh at November 18, 2005 05:05 AM Nothing like beautiful decorations & sparse food. Posted by: Valerie at November 18, 2005 07:04 AM Uh... someone has their priorities mixed up big time. It's not the decorations they'll be talking about come January. Posted by: Alida at November 18, 2005 10:07 AM How do you go overbudget on a table decoration? Why do you even have to have a table decoration? Surely at Christmas a giant turkey should be impressive enough sitting in the middle of the table...
