Good Gracious! Events

Talking Mother's Day ideas! Flowers? Been there? Brunch? Done that. Chocolate? Again? Mother's Day is the perfect time to express to mom how much she means to us, but all too often life gets in the way of planning something different, so we all default to the same things. This year, try something new and surprise her. She will be thrilled! Here are some ideas that might help get the juices flowing and mom singing your praises to siblings, relatives, and her pilates group.... Day at the Spa It's all about her, just her and no one else. Treat her to a mini vacation without the big bucks for a cruise or air fair. Wine Country Who wouldn't like to spend a whole day in the beautiful countryside, sipping one delectable wine after another? Just be sure you're the designated driver. Movie and Ice Cream She did it for you when you were a kid. Think how special and thoughtful it would be to relive those memories with her. And if there's a great gelateria or an old-fashioned creamery around, that's even better! #mothersday2021 #mothersdayideas See more

HAPPY #EARTHDAY! Savor all the plant-based food the world has to offer! Today we are shedding light on a very special and often underrated vegetable. We've all seen these little guys at farmer's markets and specialty grocers around town for a couple of weeks in the spring. We gaze at them in curious awe, wondering what they are but are too embarrassed to ask. Fiddlehead ferns are a real springtime treat. Foraged in the wild in Oregon, their season is very short and their shelf life is even shorter, but oh are they good. Sort of a cross between asparagus and spinach with a bit of nuttiness. Have you had these before?

The new blog post is up! Pauline Parry delves into where our company stands following the last year and how we can help you plan and cater your next event. We would love to hear what you think.
