6 course meal

Saturday was my first time preparing a 6 course meal. It turned out quite well as far as guests commenting on the taste and my own feelings about effort and stress for putting it together. I started with ingredient shopping at 9 am, and had the first appetizer on the table at 6pm. It was not rushed at all and I had time to do other things in between prep work. Very doable! Don't forget to clean as you go.
