When was enough enough, or too much? He'd had problems with that for years. If he didn't know better, he'd think he was Molly Weasley's Grandson (and there was a thought to give him the shudders). But, cooking was his thing, or feeding people was. So he had cooked two huge pork roasts "porchetta' style, with lots of spices and wine and shredded the meat and cracklings to make sandwiches. Cups were nearby filled with chickpea and carrot soup. That, along with roasted red pepper, arugula and cheese sandwiches would satisfy any non-meat eaters, he hoped. But he had to include his favorite as well, meat from braised shortribs sandwiched between brioche slices with cheddar.
Satly homemade crisps (potato and sweet potato) would serve for snacking, and make people thirsty. So there was wine and ales, his friends favorite brands, as best he knew, along with his own pick, a tart hard cider.
The pudding was a problem, because dessert as fingerfood? That wasn't biscuits? He split the difference, making tart lemon bars, and then a chocolate chestnut cheesecake which he cut into small squares, no more than a bite or two each.
And he had a bit of time, with the help he'd gotten, so a quick shower and he was ready for a drink himself. And a hug. And some laughs,.
