Summerfest 2011

Somehow king_pellinor managed to persuade me that I wanted to help run the Summerfest bar this year. He also similarly convinced ladyofastolat, though since she's married to him I suppose she has some excuse for the folly.

Thank you so much for coming to help out!

I realised some time ago I couldn't do all the cooking and run the bar, so it's good to have other reliable people around to do that. I love doing the cooking, though I do miss being down in the bar as I also love making the cocktails. All the cocktails are ones I created, apart from the Peacemaker, which was invented by the chap who did the recipe for the Paragon this year - I think he plays a black knight.

I was a bit dubious about the cocktails at first since they seemed like added complexity for relatively little gain, but they grew on me a lot, especially when I realised how witty a lot of them were!

Thanks for all the food, the beef stew and the scones were particularly revivifying!

EDIT: Oh and the Rocky Road and the Lemon Drizzle cake!

Glad you liked the food :-) The cocktails were a way of using up the various weird and wonderful spirits Bacchus had acquired from work. Unfortunately the number of bottles we bring back never seems to go down :-(

Thanks a million from me too, even if (especially as!) I hardly saw you all weekend.

Glad you enjoyed it - that's the important bit :-)

LadyofAstolat has already presented me with a 5-page list of requirements for next year - from more mugwithahandles to a private withdrawing room/executive lounge - which should make it run better :-)

[louisedennis]

Absolutely more mugwithahandles are badly needed! *g*

I've been mulling over a King Commander's Butler character - then I wouldn't need to change to slip into bar worker mode.

Ah, well, now you're talking :-D

It's the logical follow-up to the Personal Custard, after all...
