When we have newbies accuse the forum of only posting negative - even though it is typically more of a rehash than a negative, and we say that the positive is not all that exciting to discuss or learn from.
Well here goes a positive:
A full house.
Not just a full house but a variety of guests from all different ethnic backgrounds. Even today, on a Monday had 4 rooms check out. NO ONE, I REPEAT NO ONE had a special dietary requirement, like or dislike. EVERY SINGLE MEAL there was "pork on the plate" and every guest ate it, every single day from Thursday to Monday breakfasts. They loved every breakfast, and I even had requests for recipes.
I did not even think of this until someone mentioned it to me how amazing that was to have so many there with no food issues.
So for me what do I do to make this happen?
#1 I don't and won't post a menu.
#2 I ask about restrictions, not likes or dislikes
#3 I have my stand by line of saying "You just eat what you like, anything else just leave on the plate and it won't hurt my feelings one bit!"
Fruit served this weekend:
Fresh pineapple, magenta melon. mulberries, blueberries, raspberries, green grapes, kiwi, honeydew, strawberries, slices of giant red ripe vine tomatoes, avocados.
