***As I stated in an earlier thread I sort of wanted to "get the
credit" from our guests for putting on a great party without going out
and "buying it" if you know what I mean...The meal tastes so much
better when you know the host put in the work to put on the
spread...Anyone can get it catered, I just wanted to prepare it
myself...Sure, in the long run its probably cheaper to order it from
JitB but that's not how I roll...That's how that idiot Clown-tard
rolls...But like I said, I need to try to do 300 tacos cost
effectively...:-)
