The answer is pretty simple - we’re getting married! The handsome guy in the picture on my sidebar and I are getting hitched, and we’re doing everything ourselves. Yes, we are crazy enough to “self-cater” our wedding. That means there’s lots of cooking going on around here, but not a lot of time for photography and writing! Currently these guys have taken over the kitchen counter:

While an undoubtably large portion of the work lies ahead of us in the week to come, a lot of preparation has been happening over the past few months. I can’t exactly label our efforts a success yet because the reception hasn’t happened, but I’m feeling fairly confident and (currently) not regretting our decision to self-cater. I can’t wait to share my process of planning and preparation with everyone after the wedding and hope I’m able to inspire a few more brides, grooms, and their families that self-catering is feasible. Oh, and there will be more great recipes for folks who aren’t looking to host a reception or large party any time soon. =) Adios for now!
