Oh, it really was. High points included my mentioning to a gentleman I
know that, after cooking some of the sausages with eggs in the first
round of service, and there being a few more people on site than we
had originally planned for, I had only about 60 servings of sausage
left with 75 or 80 people on site, to which he responded, "Oh, really?
Well, the four I had were delicious!", and me stridently chiding the
costumer-type lady who was having a little trouble forming standing
pastry shells for the chewets, "C'Maaaaaan, if this were SILK you'd
have no problem putting twelve billion annoying little pleats in it!"
That one worked wonders, by the way... the pies turned out
beautifully. All of a sudden, like flipping a switch, her hands knew
exactly how to proceed... then her husband started doing it, too...
