Bacon + Donuts + Stinky Cheese= Best Wedding Ever.

I am currently blogging supine because the absurd amount of food and drink i consumed saturday is making the use of my limbs, and any upright position, impossible. In order to get anywhere I have to roll down the hall on my full-term food baby and then flail on my back like a turtle until someone hoists me up. Picture this, sans oompa loompa:
The food was spectacular for Margaret's wedding-- worlds away from typical wedding food. Major props are due to Bite Cafe for pulling off such a feast for 300 people with perfect timing, perfectly medium steaks, and no less than three types of slaws.

The children's book illustration version of the dinner looked like this:The actual food looked surprisingly similar:
From bottom, clockwise: Jicama Slaw, the remains of Flank steak with chimichurri, jerk chicken with mango salsa, sauteed snow peas and cherry tomatoes, summer slaw, and cabbage slaw (polenta had already been devoured at time of picture).

The real stars of the night, however, were the gourmet donuts served late, as we were all drunk and sweaty from dancing.

I dont have pictures of the donuts (I know! For Shame!), but you can imagine the maple bacon one looked something like this, but not gross:
A close runner up for best food product of the night was the cheese, most of which is now taking over my fridge. But more on that later. I'm sure I will have updates over the next few weeks as I subsist mostly on leftover cheese and liquor (I wonder how that will go?). In fact, that sounds like an at-home science experiment. To be continued.
