Kitchen chaos

Last Sunday, we had to prepare a meal for 80 people. A lot of them were city folk who came down for a day on the farm. Many had children, and they got to pick grapes and make juice and jelly.

The meal was quite an endeavor, since a lot of the people were rich and we were serving a four-course meal with some fancy stuff, like risotto with salciccia and porcini mushrooms.

The grandma, Anna, prepared herself with an ample supply of cigarettes.She also loves coffee. This is her. On the left side of the photo are some lasagna noodles that they made themselves.Rowan got to serve, and I got to wash dishes. For almost 12 hours. Because the rich people need a clean plate for every course.The kids got bread and Nutella for dessert, but it was difficult to pry the Nutella away from Rowan.We then slept, because the next day would also be filled with activity.
