I made a massive feast for an up coming dinner party I am throwing to celebrate my new job and all my friends cancelled last minute.
>Got promoted
>Moved to a house in town that was nice
>After getting moved in announce my dinner party
>Friends are well aware of my cooking skills but they have only seen a fraction of my power, just a nice prime rib/braised chicken here and there. Still enough to be requested to handle the main course at any friends bday/event.
>Spent all week preparing my 3 course meal
>Expensive as fuck
>Home made Duck rillettes with baguette crostinis, dijon mustard and cornichons.
>prime short rib bouef bourginon made with home made beef stock and demi glace.
>Mashed potatoes
>Chai spiced creme brulee.
>Every thing has been prepared except for the beef + potatoes which I was going to start today.
>Literally been cooking every night of this week to have every thing ready. I just put the brulees in the fridge to have ready for tomorrow.
>Everyone agreed to go to my house for the party 2.5 weeks ago. 8 People
>Today one person in the group chat said that theres a party at the local club for labor day and there is going to be a cookout and tons of girls.
>They all agree to go.
>Have easily spent $250+ on the ingredients for my meal, even went out and got extra plates + ramekins.
>Not to mention the 2 bottles of champagne I got for after the meal and two bottles of burgundy.

How do people decide what to eat every day? I took it for granted growing up that I’d have a home cooked meal every day that was almost always different from the day before. Now I see how big a task that was...
