			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oh man. What a weekend. But, with the help of some amazingly capable people, we pulled it off.  What the heck am I talking about? Last weekend, I engineered and pulled off my very first catering event. Well, I can&#8217;t say I. I should say we.  My friends who volunteered to help are more capable than I am and made this project shine(K, you are an unbelievable cook. Can I move into your kitchen?). When a good friend&#8217;s daughter became engaged, I begged her to let me cater the wedding. She agreed, and away we went.</p>
<p>The bride requested a crepe bar. After testing six different crepe recipes (mastering the art, joy of cooking, martha stewart, alton brown, epicurious, &amp; a French book), I went for the <a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Basic-Crepes-1220">epicurious crepe</a>.  Why? Because it was the sturdiest crepe I could find. A friend and I made over 400 crepes, froze them, and reheated them at the reception on crepe griddles. The menu included:<br />Sweet Crepe-filled with tossed berries, topped with berry sauce and whipped cream.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uTbtW-tUGyg/Si8jahSVcAI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/QguGRXHlVcE/s1600-h/P1120702.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uTbtW-tUGyg/Si8jahSVcAI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/QguGRXHlVcE/s320/P1120702.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345530221230911490" border="0" /></a>and a Savory Crepe-thinly sliced ham, jarlsburg cheese, and fresh spinach (vegetarian version-just the cheese and spinach) topped with a bechamel.</p>
<p>I can not tell you how much I enjoyed this project. I loved every minute of it. I loved getting up at 5:30 in the morning to fire up the <a href="http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/sku4845186/index.cfm?pkey=xsrd0m1%7C16%7C%7C%7C0%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7Ccrepe&amp;cm_src=SCH">crepe griddle</a>. I loved creating a berry sauce with just the right amount of vanilla and preserves. I loved inviting friends over as test groups to find the best way to fold and serve crepes. I loved learning about <a style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);" href="http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/cw196/index.cfm?pkey=xsrd0m1%7C16%7C%7C%7C0%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7Cwhipped%20cream&amp;cm_src=SCH">stainless steel cream whippers</a> (my my, they are fancy-pants). I loved designing the crepe stations at the wedding reception.<br /><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Rebecca/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.jpg" alt="" /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uTbtW-tUGyg/Si8jCaeE3kI/AAAAAAAAAMI/nTwgYhmrSHc/s1600-h/P1120673.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uTbtW-tUGyg/Si8jCaeE3kI/AAAAAAAAAMI/nTwgYhmrSHc/s320/P1120673.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345529807084248642" border="0" /></a>I loved watching people eat the crepes.  And the best part?  I loved fixing &#8220;crepe kits&#8221; for the bride&#8217;s family and friends so their crepe-venture could continue. I loved it all.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uTbtW-tUGyg/Si8kdoM2dpI/AAAAAAAAAMY/NeFfvEzA0aM/s1600-h/P1120701.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uTbtW-tUGyg/Si8kdoM2dpI/AAAAAAAAAMY/NeFfvEzA0aM/s320/P1120701.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345531374138193554" border="0" /></a>And a special thanks to <a href="http://mamaheather.blogspot.com/">H</a>, who took the time to document the whole thing. You are a dear.</p>
