Company Picnic and St. Honore Gateau

Salt Lick BBQ - a family favorite        (and the place Beezer works:  30% discount!  Yeaaaa.)

St. Honore Gateau - Looks good.  Lets hope it tastes good.......

No party is complete without the pool.  It got lots of attention today.  One little boy shared his floaties with Kale - kale was not happy but he looked cute with those big orange things on his little arms.

ATD's company party was held at my house this time.  Boy, what a lot of work but everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.    We got brisket and ribs from Salt Lick - along with a bunch of good old Salt Lick BBQ Sauce.  We added some sausage cooked on the grill, a bunch of potato salad, beans, and cobbler and everyone went away well fed.  The pool got a lot of use, as did the pool table.  Add all that to the large selection of appetizers and you'd think I have a house full of leftovers, but nope, almost everything got eaten.  How's that for planning?   I was also making a groom's cake for a friend's reception - tonight - so my day was a bit full.  I've never made a St. Honore Gateau before and only hope I got it right.  Danny delivered it because I was dead on my feet.  I guess I'll hear tomorrow how it went.

It was a full day - almost 50 people joined us at the house - and I'm glad it's over.  Tonight I'll sleep well and relax tomorrow.  I should be fine by Monday - my 32nd anniversary.  I would have forgotten but several guests today wished me happy anniversary.  Glad they did. I'd hate to be the spouse that forgot.
