Most years, I do the desserts for the employee Christmas dinner. It is always a challenge to cook for so many. It is also fun in a stressful,self abusing kind of way. I do large scale cooking just enough to know I never want a job in this area. There is always some new twist such as J throwing a cake down the basement stairs, or complete icing disasters. This was the first year weather caused problems and made what is usually 2 days of chaos into 4 plus unplanned “elves” home from school. I thought this year I would try to put in pictures what 30 lbs of cream cheese, 6 dozen eggs, a few gallons of whipping cream and 15 pounds of sugar can do to your kitchen.
Big cooking needs big bowls.
We did 16 cheesecakes. Brian and Had both helped.
And then we killed the kitchen aid mixer. That is oil dripping from the motor. My 15 year old Sunbeam that gets used at least 3 x per week kept right on going.
Of course paying attention to food means L was on her own. She used her time to go through the recycling. As B says to L, “You cardboard shredder, you!”
