The Kitchen Table

Houston / Katy folks...I have a question

11 years ago

I have been given the task of lining up a caterer for my office Christmas party. The event will take place in my bosses home as we've done over the past 10 years. It's always at the same persons house, and his wife has taken care of the catering in the past...she's too busy this year. The house is located in Green Trails in Katy - right by the Second Baptist Katy Campus.

Food needs to be above average (we've used Churrasco's and Palazzo's in the past).

I'll be ordering appetizers, salad, main courses, side dishes and desserts, and I would not mind ordering desserts from a different vendor. If you know of a good bakery I should consider for the desserts, please let me know.

Price is not an issue.

We will be feeding around 25 people.

I would be grateful for any suggestions you throw my way.

My only suggestion is to not do it by yourself--IF you have never done this. Would the wife offer some ideas? suggestions? etc Start with a notebook, write everything down, get lots of ideas, then go from there. Make sure you have names and phone numbers. Even though the wife is busy, could you coordinate the party with her and another person?
Just my thoughts

I would check into Peli Peli that is where we just had the Houston KT get together. If you have not been there yet GO! The food is wonderful they have won all kinds of awards.
The selection is wonderful and they do now cater events.

Can I successfully grow Coriander (cilantro) in a Houston spring?
Q

Hello primavera_grower, Nice to see other Katy resident in GW. Same as you, my yard is full of gumbo clay. I must soak the ground slowly if I need to dig the soil. When I started gardening, I just dug a hole, planted something, fill the hole with good soil not natural gumbo, hoping the plant will grow and bloom beautifully. Needless say, they all drowned due to this bathtub effect. I tried tilling with alots organic matters (humas, cow manures, etc), and the beds came out nicely. My backyard is filled with raised beds. Comparing those (2) different approaches, I would go with raised beds if I need to do all over again. If you had missed starting Corriander from seed, you can purchase a grown plant from store, plant it in a garden and let it reseed it. This Autumn it will come up by itself.

Planting Mango tree in Houston TX
Q

Hi all I am planning on buying an Alphonso Mango tree. I wanted to know if it is better to keep the tree in a pot or plant it in the ground? I live in Katy. I know the trees planted in the ground are going to need winter protection. I know most of you have had past experiences with growing mangoes in Houston so just wanted to get your advice.

Want to Build My Own Pool - Houston Area
Q
Comments (51)
I am considering doing my own pool as well. I found Pool Warehouse, they build and send the walls and all items needed for quite a reasonable price. They have kits to pick from but also do custom. of course the one I have in mind needs to be custom and I am in the process of getting a quote. Here is their website so you can take a look. https://www.poolwarehouse.com/small pools/ Also click on the dig sheets for layouts. I will be interested to see how much the one I want is going to cost compared to the standard kits already in production I have attached a photo of the pool I am interested in installing, no shallow end, steps right into deep water.

Thanks, ravencajun. I'll give Peli Peli a call! Wish I could've been at the KT get together, but 2 of our sons were groomsmen in a wedding that weekend.

Our office did go to Perry's for lunch about a year ago, and it was wonderful. They sure do serve up one very large pork chop!

That's my go to meal at Perrys that's a delicious hunk of meat! Of course everything there is good.

I wish you could have been at the lunch too. We need to have them occasionally, just plan a day for ladies lunch.

I will keep thinking about catering my husband's company does a lot of events that are catered, I will check out what ones they like.
