Remember when my blog was a collection of recipes and stories about recipes I was playing around with in my kitchen for fun? Well, I do…longingly. But lately, well lately, my blog has been empty. And before that my stories have been about what I’ve been eating on the road and all of the recipes on which I’ve been working aim to feed crowds of 50+, content that’s not really conducive to sharing with an audience of home cooks.

All of that traveling and cooking for crowds has left me so tired. This is me sleeping on a table in the kitchen during the Parlez Vous Francais, Y’all dinner series a few weeks ago. Yes, that’s how I sleep…like I’m dead. I was so tired that I cleaned the table, took a cat nap, and re-cleaned the table so we could use it later to prep food.

Despite the exhaustion, the dinners went really well…better than I could have ever imagined. We sold out all three nights which is still mind blowing. And I realized I could actually serve eight courses to 60 people in three hours without keeling over. We learned so much – most importantly that we have so much more to learn before we’re ready for Project Huge!

I have a week or so before I hit the road to host dinners in Columbia, Atlanta, and Charleston. So I’ll try to scale down the recipes from the weekend dinners to smaller serving and share those with y’all! And if you missed the first series, there are still some tickets left for our next series with Breakfast for Dinner on May 25.
