I completely forgot that tomorrow is the start of Lent. Now, I may not be the best practicing Catholic but I always give something up during this time. (I guess it’s more of a habit than anything). Last year I gave up candy and chocolate. This year, I’ll probably stick with giving up some sort of food… possibly fried foods? Or maybe desserts/pastries? Hmm. I’ll make up my mind when I wake up tomorrow.

So Rob and I spent the latter half of last week in LA because we had to attend a wedding tasting event that our caterer was throwing for their upcoming brides and grooms. OMG, YOU GUYS. The food is going to be so YUMMY. We tried about six salads — a fruit/walnut salad, caesar, mixed green salad, etc. But my favorite was by far the strawberry spinach salad with poppyseed dressing…

We also had 5 different entrees — chicken florentine (this was THE BEST!), caramelized chicken, prime rib, filet mignon, and shiitake encrusted halibut. Behold the yumminess of the filet and the halibut…

And of course, we had to try a few desserts — chocolate-covered strawberries, meringue cookies, and banana mandarin flambe. Sorry, no pictures. I was too busy eating!!!

Here we are with full bellies at the end of the night…

I’m definitely NOT going to be one of those brides that doesn’t have time to eat on the wedding day. I’ll be sitting down at the table chowing down along with my guests. 😀

It’s past midnight and I just made myself hungry writing this entry. Heh.
