I couldn't get it out of my head, so now it's my post title. I also want to add that it bugs me that, in the first verse, the pronunciation of 'apples' and 'bananas' is normal, despite the fact this defies the rule of vowel-matching necessary for the remaining verses.
Aaaaaaaaaaaanyways.
I had the tasting with the caterer!!
And my dad, and his wife, and my mom, and her husband. Oh yeah, and Chris. (That guy again. Ugh.)
And it was....anticlimactic...even for what it is. I ended up being frustrated by two things: (1) The person we have been working with - and the person in charge - was not there, despite having confirmed the event (but not specifically his presence) by email only hours before, and (2) we were only served the appetizers, which were from the standard catering menu...and that was all - none of our custom dishes were made for us, which was kind of the point.
*Deep, vociferous sigh*
On the good side, we picked our appetizers and there is one in particular that is super-perfect for our menu and super delicious.
Also, my family were very supportive and upbeat about the missteps.
It's also important for us to remember that, in this case, with this vendor, we've seen the final product and have a history with the company that is all positive....the only unfortunate things are what has been happening with our catering meetings. Which sucks, because that's not fun, but doesn't make me worry in the way I would in most other circumstances.
Now, I'm finding myself feeling frustrating the more I write and wanting to erase the memory of the irritating parts of the tasting and just focus on the fact that now we'll be going back again for more free food and free drinks (yes, they served us -- ALL of us - complimentary beverages throughout the tasting, and even while we were waiting).
Let's keep our fingers crossed that it gets better in this vein.
