I don’t write about holidays often, but due to the extra work the fire in my home has caused and my other many things I do, I have failed to have time to even set up any appointments with people to be a Cook of the Week, let alone meet with them. My part of the work is about finished at my home. I will have more time then, in fact every morning might be free! When I realized it was already Wednesday and the weekend was a holiday, I decided I would write about party food since so many graduations and weddings happen in June, which is just around the corner. Punch is one of the favorites on a hot summer afternoon or evening. It is so easy to mix up this refreshment. I also have a brunch punch that is delicious which is also easy to mix together. Cakes are another favorite at parties when people are coming and going. It is easy to serve and an easy item to have a couple choices to choose from, also. Cupcakes have also become a popular dessert at graduations.
