Food Tasting

Mom & I headed to The Pavillion tonight for the much anticipated food tasting. Unfortunately, David had to work, and I was the only bride in the room that was groom-less.. Luckily, the next best thing (Mom) was with me.

We tried two different menus.

Menu 1:

Beef and Chicken Fajitas
Mexican Rice
Guacamole
Sour Cream
Shredded Cheese
Tortillas

The Review:

The meat was so-so. Not great. Kind of dry, hardly any flavor. The rice was super good! As was the guacamole, and the tortillas. I don't do sour cream, but I'm imagining it tasted like any sour cream you buy at the grocery store.

Menu #2:

Grilled Chicken with Mushroom Gravy
Twice Baked Potatoes
Roll with Butter
Vegetable Medley
Corn
Tossed Salad

The Review of Menu #2:

The chicken was good, but the gravy was GROSS! The twice baked potatoes, were HOLY COW OH MY GOODNESS delicious, and the rest of the stuff was tasty too.

The Verdict:

Menu #2 revised!!!

We will be serving the following on October 11, 2008....

Grilled Chicken with Mushroom Gravy (ON THE SIDE)
Twice Baked Potato Heaven
Vegetable Medley
Corn
Tossed Garden Salad with Ranch or Italian Dressing
Rolls with Butter
Iced Tea
Come on people, you know your mouths are watering! It is really good.. and I'm really excited! It's almost in the double digit countdown! I can't believe it!! We meet with our pianist on Saturday morning... more to come after that.
