Day 37 - November 12, 2009

Day 37:

Today was my prep day for the Lee's Food Show on Saturday the 14th. I spent the entire day making ginormous batches of spinach artichoke dip and artichoke green chile dip. After getting it all made I was super worried that I wouldn't have enough of the artichoke green chile dip so Dallan and I headed back to Lee's and bought more ingredients to make a second batch. After getting all of that made and packaged and put in the fridge I had the dreadful task of toasting 3500 slices of bread! They brought me giant french bread loaves so we didn't end up using even close to all of them. I think we had 5 or so people slicing the bread and once we had them all sliced I started toasting them all. I ended up with about 35 full trays with an average of about 100 slices per tray. The bread was for me and Amy both so I had to make sure I would have enough and not run out.
I was very surprised that I was able to get everything done in one day and that I wouldn't have to worry at all about it tomorrow. All I would need to do Saturday is warm the dip up and start serving. The bread was all ready to go.
