 The guests are arriving, the kitchen is full of goodies simmering away, yet how do you do it all and still smile -DELEGATE !! Have a list of easy tasks prepared for guests that offer to help. Allow others to pour the wine, refill drinks, or make the announcement for dinner. Having someone else do little things for you, can actually help you concentrate on that all important Holiday Dinner presentation, you want everyone to remember throughout the year.  Remember that Family gatherings usually involve small kids. Appetizer trays meant for adult guests, are a sure invitation for little hands and sloppy messes. Create a kid friendly appetizer tray with cheese sticks, apple slices, animal crackers, etc, to keep them focused on their own delights.  If nothing else remember this- Even the best of chefs, have set off a smoke alarm or two in their days. The most important thing about the Holidays, is to enjoy family and friends, and be thankful for the love, support, and most of all bravery, for enduring whatever comes out of the kitchen !! |
