Whine and Dine?!
To many of us, entertaining is associated with formal dinner tables adorned with carefully laid out place settings and stuffy seating charts. One may also think of multi-course meals that contain dishes the average person has never heard of. In the 1950's this misconception was not a misconception; that's how our ancestors actually entertained their guests. These are things that terrify potential entertainers today! There isn't enough time in our day to accomplish the feats that were accomplished decades ago. Times, they are a changing!
The reality of entertaining nowadays is that it is feasible for it to be an intimate, yet, stress-free affair. One way to ensure a successful gathering is to involve the guests in the execution of an event. This may include activities such as: cooking easy dishes together (individual pizzas, panini sandwiches, fruit salad...), asking your guests to wear accessories or ensembles keeping in tune with a predetermined theme (leis to a luau, feather boas to a 1920's art deco -themed party...), or, inviting your guests to participate in a potluck.
Entertaining is one of the most wonderful ways to show the people that you love and care for just how much you do. It is also an excellent way to express creativity and individuality. Although it may seem like a daunting task initially, the more you do it, the better you become at it.
