It might cost $5 to run the AC in a single room for a night. If it's in the loungeroom, then you sleep in the loungeroom with all the doors closed. Also, mozzies will find a way inside, no matter what you do. They can phase through walls. OP is an rear end in a top hat. Be nice to your guests.

Seems to me that the family is going to find out eventually, and when they do, MIL might file a complaint out of spite. She probably won't get far--but the OP should have gone directly to their supervisor instead of trading barbs with MIL over text.Invisible Clergy posted:Also just mandatory

AITA for sticking to my word and refusing to help my husband with his mom?quote:My f33 mother in law fell extremely sick and has been bedridden for 3 months now. Her husband is deceased and her daughter and 2 sons (who didn't even bother to visit) live towns away, so my husband is left to fully take over her care. He wanted to bring her to live with us but I said no and had my reasons for that, one of them is that our home isn't fit for disabled patients and I already explained this to him but he chose to pick an argument and say I don't want him to help his mom but that is not true.

It’s perfectly reasonable to end up spending a bit of money on catering. Food and drink should absolutely be the biggest price tag of any wedding.

We had a hundred guests and our price tag for catering was right at about $2k. With my religious community doing the prep and service for free and us paying for food. 17 years ago.

Invisible Clergy posted:There's really no reason for OP to feel obligated to say anything. The price of catering is going to vary from event to event depending on the number of guests, courses, what's being served, how many staff they want, place settings, etc. The friend will find out what the price is for what she wants from the caterer, and if she can afford it, she'll hire them and if not, she'll hire someone cheaper. $5k is, sadly, pretty reasonable for what OP is getting. They mention it covers the buffet, as well as servers, bartenders, place settings, and 'other services' (set up and tear down, I'm assuming). e: beaten Invisible Clergy posted:I don't really understand the appeal of these five figure weddings. it's their special day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Root vegetables, things that grow underground, like potatoes or carrots, are added to cold water and brought to a boil. What the hell. Were you scared by a skillet as a small child?

I know I've complained about this before but the worst wedding clients to deal with are the ones who complain about how much everything costs while simultaneously being picky, high-maintenance, and difficult. These people take up so much of our time and energy for a one-off event that won't have any repeat business. Our venue doesn't charge a 'wedding tax' but I wish we did.

Good catering is worth the price. I'd skimp on literally anything else than that. A lot of your friends and family are going to be eating, they might have different tastes and possibly dietary requirements, you don't want them to have to go through the event on an empty stomach. This goes for weddings, funerals, Bar Mitzvahs, anniversaries, etc.The Walrus posted:lot of people itt not recognizing that steaming is the best way to cook most veg QFT

Blanching is fine but a big pot of water takes a long time to boil. Steaming and stir-frying takes less time and roasting lets you forget about them until the timer goes off.

Just use an electric kettle. That's how I do my boiled eggs, start them off with water boiled from the kettle into a pot with them already inside (pouring carefully to avoid them breaking in the process), bring them up to a bubbling boil and keep them there for like 10-15 minutes so they're all nice and hard.
