Sometimes helping raise money can be lots of fun, especially when it's 98 degrees, and you have a hot grill going, your hands cramped from squirting hundreds of plates with sauce as you smile and thank donors for helping make an event a success.
Sometimes helping raise money can be lots of fun, especially when your spouse says, "Hey, I have to do a Cattle Baron's dinner in Aspen in May, want to take a drive?". Sure we could have flown with the other 4 chefs that were auctioned off for the American Cancer Society, except for the small plane-small-airport-mountain turbulence thing. May can be tricky in Colorado, you can see what the weather turned to on our travels, and it made my husband very glad we decided to drive.
So me, the non-cook, got to tag along to watch the preparation of a 5 course meal by 5 of Dallas' top chefs, in a 25,000 square foot, $100M home on Aspen Mountain, wow. I don't want to intrude on the privacy of the guests, since they paid a significant sum to enjoy this weekend (and help fund the cure for cancer!), but I did have some food shots that I can share. And a non-food shot, of drawer handles, huge ones at that. All John Hardy, baby, it was an unbelievable house.
