Here it is!

Welcome to the Food For Any Occasion blog.  This is a food service business that provides food in whatever form our clients request. See, I can't call us a caterer, because we are available to do more.  Part of the motivation to put this project into motion was the result od several requests to make comfort food to be used as a gift or house-warming present.  A gift of food for a new mother; food for a grieving family; a family reunion, all good opportunities to share our happiness and our grief.  Well, not to belabor that, this thing just kind of developed. 

I has a brief stint a several years ago with Pampered Chef and that got me thinking.  In this economy, I don't dare chance a start up with no following, no client list, no clue if it will take off with the overhead that is needed for a sticks and bricks company.  So, I said to myself, "Self - what if we sell our food the same way that Avon, and Tupperwear, and Pampered Chef do, by having home parties to demonstrate the products and introduce as many people as possible to our food?"  And it just kind of got legs and ran!

The inaugural Food Demo was held last night (notwithstanding the end of the world) at my eldest daughter's home and if I do say so myself, it went over well.  We began with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres then moved into the demonstration.  I really enjoyed the back and forth question and answer, laid back felling of the night.  As always, I was a bit nervous at the start, but with the great friends (and family) in attendance, I was soon relaxed and having a blast.

I've got several catering events scheduled over the next couple of months but hope that the prepared food part of this project takes off as well. 

Well, this is probably enough for my first post and don't want to bore whomever might be reading this.  If you do stumble on this blog, please also check of the website at www.FoodForAnyOccasion.com and you can follow us on Twitter @Stevesfood.
