Graduation Party

So, today was son's graduation party, finally. Whew...I'm glad it's over, we've been killing ourselves to get ready for it.

We ended up having about a hundred or so I guess. I did not have time to count folks, and neither did anyone else. LOL We went for something different this year, we did not do a hog roast, instead, a friend of hubby's owns this fantastic place called Sky Haven Farm, and we bought meat from him. Absolutely fantastic, and Ed delivered it yesterday, what more could you want? We did Two Boston Butt's, and Ed sliced 2 hams for us. It was plenty for the folks we had.

The rest of the menu that I made consisted of Loaded Baked Potato Salad, Baked Beans, Home Made Macaroni and Cheese, Pasta Salad...ALL of those items were made in a 20X12X3 Steam table pan, so of course I hear, "Did you have it catered?"HA HA HA... anyone who knows me knows I don't have anything catered.

Cole Slaw, Jarlsberg Cheese Spread, Fruit and Dip, Vegies and Dip, and a Cheese/Pickle/Olive tray finished out the food I served other than his graduation cakes.

I wish I had taken pictures, but didn't have time for that either. My daughter made the Cheese Spread, and My neice and Sis cut up all the fruit and vegies, bless their ever lovin hearts, they got here at noon for a 5ish party. ;)

So, the food was ready by 5:30, and by then folks had started rolling in. All in all, I think a good time was had by all... the last folks left at 4:30 AM, yes, AM, and we still had over half a keg left. So, that tells me, that they were here for the company, and not the beer!
