I am a rabid knitter, except recently, wedding projects have replaced my yarn and needles. I’ve been fiercely independent since the age of 2 and 30 years later I think my family and friends had given up on me settling down and getting married.

About Mrs. Pretzel

More Than a Taste

May 12th, 2010 @ 1:29 pm by Mrs. Pretzel

Mr Pretzel and I love to eat. Catering tastings? Sign us up! We had such a great time tasting all the yummy food for our reception that I can’t figure out how we let a tasting with our rehearsal dinner catering slip our minds. We booked Lake Street Catering months ago, but it wasn’t until last week that I remembered that they had offered to do a tasting dinner for us.

That’s right “tasting dinner”, and not just for us—Lynn suggested that we invite friends over. SWEET! When I called last week to schedule something Lynn had an even better idea. “Is your mom local?” she asked, immediately followed by, “do you have plans for Mother’s day?” Yes and no. Lynn and Craig offered to do a miniature seafood boil for myself, Mr Pretzel, Momma Pretzel and two of our dearest friends.

I invited Bridesmaid H and her fiance T over. Momma Pretzel thinks of Bridesmaid H as a second daughter so it was special for them to celebrate with us. Lynn and Craig brought everything—the seafood boil, salad, dessert, plates and utensils—we just relaxed as they prepared what they told us was the smallest seafood boil they have ever done.

I love how they dump the food on the table to serve it!

And then we NOM!

And Nom some more. Happy Mother’s Day Mom!

In my mind this was the best way to do a tasting. I’m glad we could do this special for Mother’s Day.

We’ve finally met Lynn and Craig, we’ve tasted the food. We know for sure that booking blind was a safe bet in this situation. I can’t wait for our rehearsal dinner now. July can’t come fast enough!

Did your catering company go above and beyond the traditional tasting?

after all this talk about a lowcountry boil you have really got me thinking this would be the way to go for our rehearsal dinner. After all, Charleston is known for their lowcountry cuisine! Thanks for the inspiration!

We got full-on meals at two places we didn’t end up choosing (as well as the one we did choose). One of the runners up sent us home with freakin’ leftovers. Though the unknown/let’s just get this damn thing settled already aspect of that time bothered me, I did enjoy getting the yums.
