Greg & Melissa's Hitchin' HQ » tasting http://www.grelissa.com The wedding & Airstream honeymoon site for Greg Hoy & Melissa Kistler Sat, 28 Nov 2009 16:52:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 en hourly 1 Our food tasting experience http://www.grelissa.com/2009/03/30/our-food-tasting-experience/ http://www.grelissa.com/2009/03/30/our-food-tasting-experience/#comments Mon, 30 Mar 2009 18:08:08 +0000 Melissa http://blog.greghoy.com/?p=29 We sat down to a lovely sampling of all things tasty…  and very much enjoyed rating each morsel. Most items fell into my ‘YUM’ category, while Greg used facial distortion and exaggerated ocular expression to communicate his findings. Departing just a few pounds heavier in our food comas, we were thrilled with the chefs’ culinary delights and could further visualize our wedding day (so excited! so excited!).

We cannot wait to share this special time with all of you, our loving family and friends, and the food will only sweeten the experience.  Now, on to the ordering of the CUPCAKES from the one and only Brown Betty! An update: we are now getting our cupcakes from Rebecca Michaels’ Flying Monkey Patisserie.

I should have thought about my choice of location at bit more, because I chose an establishment without a TV. No March Madness to watch. Just me, this beverage, and my iPhone. Literally. The bar is empty. Well, except the bartender that looks like he’d rather be at a bar with a TV.

What I really wanted to tell you about is the fact that we will be headed to the catering facility tomorrow for our food tasting. We start at 3PM, and Dan, our food planner, told us to ‘come hungry’. No problem Dan.

They have a lot for us to try apparently, and more than one person has mentioned this is one of the best parts of the whole process. We will let you know how it goes.

Afterwards, we may drive out to the Airstream and plug it in to get the fridge cold for our maiden voyage starting Saturday. More on that in another post.

I just had some of the butter here. Whoa. Good butter.
