Catering a great dinner party for a group of 20 last night. It was a special bithday for my new client Sara in Belmont. Boy was it windy, but for some strange bit of luck, the wind stopped just in time to serve dinner. The dinner was in Sara & Donn's beautiful garden with a bunch of their great friends.
