An example of our highest end catering, this party was held for 8 guests this evening.  Our hostess is quite a foodie herself and spends much time discussing food and cooking with us.  On this occasion, she even had prepared braised beef cheeks for us.   The cheeks were quite delicious, being a texture similar to pot roast, but far more tender and a little richer taste.  After eatng, we got down to business
