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...
