@rosemarya It is a dilemma, a large gathering or several smaller ones, but large ones are great if everyone pitches in. Is the gathering at your home? Is so, how many people will that entail? Too bad you don't live closer, I would drop by with some apps or goodies. 😉 I'm on roll now! During my "retirement" when my children were around, I actually thought about doing part-time, low-key catering but being migraine prone I decided that would not be a good idea. How would I handle it if I had a migraine on the day when someone was expecting great food? My food tastes good, but I am not a food stylist at all, so it looks pretty plain generally, which is why my kids were impressed with my cupcakes -- I swirled frosting on with a fluted pastry bag!
