Guests coming
My friend, Al Giordano, has been posting wonderful food that he has been making. As a chef, I pay attention. He posted the ingredients to a sandwich that were so complicated today that I had to respond to him. This is what I wrote:
You make me out to
 be a pauper. I have 13 guests coming in for three days this weekend and
 all I got is: Friday afternoon: Hummus, meats, good cheeses, jungle 
guacamole, fruit, tomatoes with fresh basil, garlic, and mozzarella. For
 dinner stuffed shells with ricotta, 
mozzarella, asiago cheese, garden basil, spinach, shallots, eggs from my
 chickens, and green onions, with homemade tomato sauce, and mozzarella,
 served with chicken parmesan, spaghetti squash and a vegetable mix with
 garlic bread. Sat morning: Pancakes with fresh picked blueberries and 
Canadian maple syrup, double cut bacon, home fried potatoes, NYC bagels 
with Philadelphia Cream Cheese, three cheese bread and butter, baked,  
and fruit. Sunday: Baked eggs with ham and swiss and veggies, papas 
Huancaina from peru, papaya with lime. Sunday night: Barbeque of 
marinated chicken thighs, shrimp, beef sausage, grilled asparagus, 
broccoli, cauliflower, scallions. With potato and egg salad, fusilli 
salad with red peppers, balsamic vinegar, and shallots, three beans with
 jowel bacon, garlic, and onions. Your cooking is way, way more complex 
for the taste buds than mine. So  am jealous, all the way.
