No, not my wedding. You rest assured, though, when that happens, I’ll definitely have a foodblog entry (since P and I have decided to do a cookout in our backyard for our wedding).
This wedding entry is from this past weekend, when we went to one of P’s best friend’s wedding. It was a lovely little ceremony in a small chapel in New Bern, NC (eastern NC), and afterward there was a great little afternoon/early evening reception. I of course was starving by the time we ate, at about 3:00, so I gorged on the food offerings.
First of all the servers cam earound with a few little finger food appetizers. These were some tasty little spinach and cheese tarts in puff pastry. I think I probably ate about 15 of them.
Then they brought around little peppered shrimp cocktails with individual cocktail sauce servings and a wedge of lemon. Tasty tasty prawns. And they offered us little scallops on toothpicks, topped with some teriyaki glaze. I probably had about 8 each of these.
Thank god they had finger food. P had to get my food for me all weekend cause I was hobbling around still, and I was waiting for him while he went through the food line. But when he got back with my plate, this is what I had.
From the top – a little bit of tuna sashimi on a fried egg noodle and a bed of seaweed; pineapple and strawberries with chocolate fondue; a sandwich I made out of the cut turkey and rolls; a few little spring rolls; and a turkey and cream cheese pinwheel wrap. It was delicious! So delicious in fact, I made P go back and get me another plate.
Yeah yeah yeah. Another turkey sammie and some more chocolate fondue. It reminded me of that SNL skit with Chris Farley and David Spade and Adam Sandler dressed as the teenage girls going clothes shopping…and one of them asks Chris Farley how his diet’s going or something…and he bellows “LAY OFF ME, I’M STARVING.”
I was starving.
After the reception, there was an after-party at the home of one of the bride’s family friends. It was a gorgeous home, and the owners were so sweet. And they provided a huge spread for us! I was more keen on drinking the wine they offered – not to mention I was absolutely stuffed from my mid-afternoon pigfest – so I just watched P eat.
That’s some slaw; some chicken salad with big old pieces of grape; some potato casserole; and a bit o’ ham.
OK, I did have one thing to eat.
Please tell me you’re not surprised.
Congratulations, Ben and Molly! We <3 you guys.
