Another Month of Lunches-This time it’s July’s

July 3rd, 2009

Greener Hospitality

July 1st, 2009

Since I’ve got two hostessing events planned this week, I’ve got to get a lot of extra dishes washed. For the dinners, I’m trying to avoid using disposable plastic products as much as I can, so that means I’ll be spending a lot of time busy washing dishes at the kitchen sink.

0171

For the dessert bar I’m using a set of vintage Blue Willow dishes. I’m also using my cake stand, and two large Blue Willow plates, for all of the cookies and brownies.

0041

For the dinner (which is Chili) I’m using a mix of brightly colored over-sized coffee mugs, and square bowls.

018

I have a mixed set of glassware for beverages too. They might not match, but as long as there is enough, I don’t think that anyone will mind.

001

Don’t forget about the spoons. I’m serving  desserts that require no forks, so that saves me a little time there.

I will have a few extra dishes to wash, but it is worth it. Greener hospitality is the way to go!

Getting The House In Order

June 30th, 2009

This week is shaping up to be a busy one that is filled with hostessing duties. This week I’m hosting our local MOPS Steering Team meeting, and I’ll also be hosting the 4th of July BBQ. I’ve got a few yummy meals planned for the events too. First thing first though, I’ve got to get the house in order and cleaned for company.

I’m taking the downstairs room by room, and so far I’ve already got the office cleaned and ready. Today I’m getting the table cloth cleaned, and working on the dining room, and a little bit of the kitchen too.

Time to get to it!
