We experimented with a different table layout during lunch. This paid off at dinner when some new insights resulted in an arrangement that allowed us to sit facing one another. Nineteen for dinner.
We used the upstairs oven to increase the pizza throughput.
Dinner was (only) 1 minute late.
Candlelight and beautiful flower arrangements.
The tapestry mounted on the wall behind the head table more
than compensated for the visual loss of the wood cabinet and painting.
Cleanup has been time-consuming. Too many dishes, too little throughput.
Minimization and management of leftovers will require attention.
