Today I had a unique opportunity to help my friend waiter for her friend's catering job. For the event I had to prepare the tables and place settings, receive guests, and help serve food. All of this was followed by the honorable duty of cleaning and restocking dishes. It may not sound like much, but this is the experience I had been looking for. The chef was nice and welcoming as was the other waiter.
The two hosts of the event were both people who had work for the University. Both of them were very kind. The event was at a historic house in Cupar. The house was a grand home with tall ceiling and dark wooden walls. On the walls were paintings of hunting and game. Beyond the old kitchen there was a kitchen that appeared to be more than a century old. It had big ovens and walls lined with copper pans. Overall, the place was just neat.
There is a certain moment of my time there today that sticks out. While talking to our hostess, the waitress who I had just met discovered that they had met almost forty years prior. The hostess had been the waitresses french teacher back in secondary school. It was such a joy to see them reconnect after so long.
I hope more opportunities like this come along. They are too fun :). Special thanks to my friend Maria, who offered me the spot and allowed me to join her for a great day.
