We have been planning Meghan and Scott's engagement party for some time... and Saturday was the big day! R.D. wanted very much to cater the whole event, but giving this whole project to an 11 year old was hard to do. After saying no to his request, R.D. did not give up, he created a PowerPoint presentation detailing everything he wanted to make for the party. Unfortunately we still said no, but made him the head chef with a supervising Kelly, we did however kept some of the ideas! They both worked very hard cooking for two days. I stayed in the kitchen cleaning after them the sink was always full (soon we will need two of everything, kitchen aid mixer, food processors, etc). R.D. made shrimp salad on a endive leaf, artichoke dip, chocolate dipped strawberries, rumaki (bacon wrapped steak with a Bourbon sauce) and helped prep much, much more. What a trooper, spending two days in the kitchen and smiling most of the time. The rumaki was almost ruined, all I had to do was sear them then put in the oven... I was left this job while R.D. when to shower and get ready. I didn't know I had to add the sauce and deglaze... whoops. R.D. just put the sauce in a small sauce pan and started reducing. It was fine by the time we our guest came another save... this is why I only do the dishes. R.D.'s big hit was the shrimp salad, everyone loved it especially Grandma Connie. All and all it was a great party and we can't wait to have the bridal shower (wonder what R.D. will make).
