Throw a dinner party. Pull
out the good china, scatter tea lights everywhere and decorate the
table with potted orchids. Invite your best friends over, cue up the
music, and serve something simple but delicious. Dishes that take all
day to prepare is fabulous if you love to cook and have the time,
but don’t let extensive cooking keep you from having a fabulous dinner
party. Make the evening feel special by starting with champagne and
ending with coffee or tea and a bite of something sweet — your guests
will hardly care if the main course was a rotisserie chicken from the
local market.
