Last weekend was a busy one. Saturday was the Valentine's Chocolate Tea at The Whitney, a Bridal Tea and Mansion Tea. My manager told me to plan on 191 guests and we ended up serving 181 seated on all three floors. I think it was the largest number since I've been there. I wish I would have had time to take pictures at the Chocolate Tea but it was too busy.
Saturday was also the Chinese New Year - Year of the Dragon, but I was too tired to go out for Chinese food after work. Marie Callender's Chicken Pot Pies were in the freezer, so that's what we had. I did give a nod to China by drinking tea with my pot pie though. ;-)
Sunday, after church, a group of 15 gathered at a restaurant for dinner together. We were seated in a private room and the fellowship and food was wonderful. My son, daughter-in-law, granddaughter, daughter and son-in-law were part of the group [seated on the right side of the table]. Some in the group have been endearing friends of ours for over 40 years.
The restaurant specializes in Polish food, so I almost felt like I was in Hamtramck again with more City Chicken and Pierogies.
It was also Super Bowl LVIII. The San Francisco 49ers have been my son Jeremy's favorite team since he was very young, so this was a big game at his house. They really got in the spirit of the game, all wearing 49ers jerseys.
If you watched the game you know it was a real nail-biter! The score was neck and neck, but Kansas City won 25 to 22 in overtime. Jeremy said in spite of the loss the sun came up Monday morning and all was well.
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and my daughter and son-in-law's Fifth Wedding Anniversary. Carrot Cake is Dave's favorite, so I make them a Carrot Cake every year on their anniversary. We delivered it this afternoon. I still had all my chocolate molding equipage and candy supplies on the counter from a recent project where I made 50 chocolate rose suckers, so I decided to decorate their cake with a chocolate rose [minus the sucker stick].
A Valentine's card arrived in yesterday's mail along with a hand-crafted birthday card that the US Postal Service took 10 days to deliver from a close-by city!!!
Happy Anniversary to your sweet daughter! We had a Pancake Supper last night at church to celebrate Shrove Tuesday, but cannoli filled donuts sound like a great way to celebrate. Today being Ash Wednesday as well as Valentine's Day, I'm planning to play piano for a noon Ash Weds service at a nearby retirement home, then take myself out to lunch, then choir practice later this afternoon. Have a lovely day!
