Today I went shopping for the ingredients for tomorrow night's big dinner. There weren't a lot of things on my list, but I bought a lot of each thing including 8 cloves of garlic, 5 bunches of asparagus, 2 heads of cauliflower, 7.5 lbs of chicken and LOTS of cheese! I was kind of skeptical about whether the commissary would have gruyere cheese (I've never noticed it there!) but they had 2 different kinds and even a few substitutes. I triple checked my list, so hopefully I won't have any last minute trips to the store tomorrow.I'm starting to get nervous! Maybe 5 items was a bit ambitious for my first try? Plus I have to double most of my recipes to accomodate 10 people so I'm not sure how that will work out (will everything fit in my pots?). Thank God that Amy didn't specify that the food had to "look like the pictures in the book" or "taste like a little bit of Paris". I plan to start cooking tomorrow morning...
