How to Entertain
Outdoors Like a
Pro
What
makes a summer lunch or dinner party outdoors
special? You do. Here is a list of things to think
about for your next garden
event:
1. Get your
yard clean and in order. Make sure the grass is
mowed, raked and free of debris, tools and
toys
2. Don’t
overlook spaces inside the house where guests may
be, particularly the entryway, kitchen and
bathrooms.
3. Decorate with
cuttings from your yard. Arrange fresh flowers and
greenery to add a pop of color and a natural
fragrance.
4. Have plenty of
seating for your guests. If you're short on
chairs, spread blankets on the
grass.
5. Choose music that will be
entertaining and pleasant, not too loud or
overwhelming.
6. Think of your guests
when choosing the menu. When extending
invitations, you may want to ask whether anyone
has food allergies or dietary
preferences.
7. Be open to the idea of
a potluck party. This will lighten your load, and
it's a fun way to try new
dishes.
8. Ask a couple of guests
whether they would arrive early to help with
pre-party preparation. Make it fun by starting the
music early and sampling some
food.
9. Prepare as many foods in
advance as possible. On the day of the party,
you'll be glad you got a head start, and flavors
will be enhanced.
10. Have at least
two large trash cans emptied and placed in
convenient locations.

Cottage cheese
will remain fresher longer if you store it upside
down in the refrigerator. This slows the effects
of oxidation
