PARTY PEOPLE: No blog post last night. We were too busy making scrambled eggs for 30 (in muffin tins, super easy and yummy), gluten-free vegan banana and oatmeal muffins (with coconut sugar), heart shaped bacon (yes, really) and more for a breakfast buffet this morning at the kids' learning center. Yesterday afternoon, we set the tables, on the cheap. Pink napkins folded into placemat shapes. A paper plate, with a folded lime napkin and compostable cutlery. The centerpiece decorations were cheap and easy - sticking pencils in spray-painted Styrofoam balls. They actually made for cool, atomic looking centerpieces of a nice scale.
A friend brought bananas to the feast. She asked me what she should do with them. I told her to write on them. She looked at me like I was crazy, but then she immediately came up with a series of amazing puns (potassi-yum! might have been my favorite)! In addition to eggs, bacon and vegetarian sausages, we had a yogurt bar. There were a couple kinds of yogurt, about four kinds of granola, fresh fruit, almonds, chia seeds, Cheerios, fruity loops and more. And we had a made-to-order espresso stand operating. Not too shabby!
We also had a few other decorations about the room, including this sign, which garnered a few chuckles!
It was a fair amount of work, but a lot of fun, and the diners were super appreciative.
We also had an hour's worth of music playing, songs about summer ending ("Summer Nights," "Boys of Summer," "See You in September," "Theme from a Summer Place"), plus songs about September ("September Morn," "Wake Me Up When September Ends," and Earth Wind & Fire's "September). There were also songs about not wanting to work, like "Everybody's Working for the Weekend," by Loverboy; "Vacation" by the Go-Gos, and the Todd Rundgren classic, "Bang on the Drum All Day." https://youtu.be/ZclddLcOYYA
