(for the guests AND her family-SIGH...) We were discussing the recipe to make and decided on the enchilada casserole with the triple citrus mojitos as a Mexican Fiesta theme. She felt this would absolutely not be enough (and she is a very good friend of mine) so I told her we could double the drink recipe and make last year's salsa recipe from the catalog also but the drinks had to be made ahead of time and so did the salsa. Then she said she wanted to make dessert and insists upon making the Summer Berry Shortcakes also. She said she will make them ahead of time. She wants to make more and I tried to explain to her that I understand she feels that she has to have lots of food to entertain her guests but they will be having so much fun, they won't be that focused on her food. Also, while she usually has at least $500 to $600 shows, she NEVER has any bookings because everyone sees how much trouble she goes to, and they are afraid to have a party because they don't want to go to all that trouble.
That is when she said, "But my husband and kids want to have leftovers when they come home..." I didn't quite know what to say at that point. She is one of those people that is very intimidating anyway because her house is always spotless and then she makes all this food-so people come and think-"OH, well, I could NEVER do that!" Therefore, I never get any bookings.
Suggestions please...
