A group I am a member of regularly holds large parties. At this up coming party, I've been chosen as the second to the main chef for The Big Meal. I also get to help out with a luncheon.
The group has been meal planning and submitting recipes. The chef (who is a restaurant owner) chose a soup recipe I submitted for the luncheon! This makes me very happy. :) And a bit weirded out as I haven't made it yet and I need to make enough to serve 100 people. I've never cooked that much before. lol
It isn't my recipe, though. I got it out of One-Pot Cooking. (I've made several recipes out of this book and they are easy and awesomely yummy!)
