Second Annual Phoenix Paella – The setup

Thanks to the little Rainman in me, planning for the Second Annual Phoenix Paella party starts weeks in advance.

The menu is nearly final two weeks ahead of time. The community room in our building is reserved (just as a back up in case it rains). Rental of tables and chairs from Adelita’s (an awesome Mexican restaurant just a few miles from home) arranged. Evites are also sent soon, to allow sufficient time for RSVPs. Having a close headcount will be critical to planning seating arrangements and planning quantities. We also had to test capacity of the three paella pans that had to be used in order to feed all attendees.

The result of all that effort was a busy, but stress free morning on d-day. Or is it p-day?
