a meatball, I loved the presentation but I was not a fan of avocado. Taking that off, I put
the meatball into my mouth. The meatball had a s picy but juicy favor. The puff pastry was
nice a flaky. Alec
put the whole thing in his mouth and nodded as he kept chewing.
“Do you not like avocados?” Luna Erin asked.
“No but these are delicious.” Setting the toothpick and avocado down, I picked up the
mushroom. Taking a bite, the stuffing wasn’t mushy like I expected but pieces of crispy
bread crumb mixed with a sweet jelly. The mushroom was baked with a brown sugar
coating that made it perfect.
“So, what do you guys think?” Luna Erin looked at Alec and I with so much hope in her
eyes.
I
“They are all really good, mom.” Alec said with a mouthful of food. I knew what I wanted
but I was afraid.
to tell them. “What’s wrong?”

Looking up, he was looking at me confused. “If you don’t like any of them, I can do
something different.”
Luna Erin looked worried.
“Oh no! That isn’t it. They are all so wonderful,
“Kristen, what do you want?” Alec said after a few seconds of me not responding.
“I want them all.” Grabbing the rectangle plate that had the tuna on it. Removing all but
one, I grabbed one
mushroom and one meatball and put them evenly on the plate. “We can make the
meatballs smaller and
cut the tuna smaller so they stretch further
No one spoke for a minute. Looking up at Luna Erin and over at Alec, they both had a
surprised look to
their face. “I hadn’t even thought of that.”
“If that is too much work, we don’t have to do that!” I said quickly.
“That is not too much work at all! I love that idea. This might be my best event yet!” Luna
Erin smiled as
she moved us down to the next table.
She again had three different options. My mouth watering just smelling each option. They
were all
covered with metal covers. Taking them off, my eyes widened at how amazing they all
looked.
“Usually, I have two options. I have prepared a few different things to try. The first one is a
duck confit
over a bed of mash potatoes. The second is stuffed eggplant with black bean sauce. Third
is maki and
nigiri sushi. Fourth is a roasted rack of lamb with a side of mashed cauliflower. Lastly, that
one is beef
wellington.
Alec cut us off a bite of each. Each one was mouth watering in its own way. “What do you
think?” Alec asked me.
“I didn’t like the eggplant. The duct and lamb are similar.” I was thinking through my
options.
“The beef is nice and juicy.” Alec kept going.
“Yeah but it is going to be hot. Maybe the sushi for a lighter option. I think I like the duct
better but just barely.”

“I agree, those are great choices.” Alec nodded.
“This is going great!” Luna Erin smiled as I took another bite of sushi.
“These are really great.”
“I’m so glad you lik
you like them.” Luna Erin smiled at me as she moved to the next table. “I like to have a
salad after the appetizer. However, I usually just have the one option. So, I have prepared
three options. First one is a stacked Waldorf salad. Next one is summer salad with berries
and goat cheese and pine nuts. Last one is a cranberry pear salad with fresh onions and
walnuts.”
The waldof salad was slices of apples, topped with walnuts and cheese crumbles. The
Granny Smith apples looked divine with the vinaigrette. Alec cut up an apple slice. Putting
a bite on a fork, he held it up for me to eat. The apple was both sweet and tangy.
However, it was just a fancy apple.
“What do you think?” Alec asked as he took his own bite.
