Avoid
a catastrophe-Use a meat thermometer
This way, the $40 rib roast will be edible! While
preparing your feast, there is one cardinal rule!
A mess can pile up quickly! Believe me..It is much
easier to wipe a knife and put it back where it goes than to throw it in the sink with tons of other
dishes,
pots, pans, etc. If
you
are throwing a really big party & have no experience in the kitchen
I have only one recommendation. Set aside some money and
hire a helper. Even if the helper is only going to clean and tidy
up for you, this
will
ease a lot of stress.. Tired
of the same old sandwich? 1 cup Ground Ham (cooked) 1/2 cup drained crushed pineapple 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar 1/8 teaspoon Cloves Mix all together and spread
on your
favorite bread or roll. 1 cup chopped corned beef (cooked) 1/4 cup chopped onion 1/4 cup chopped kosher pickle 1/4 cup tomato juice Mix all together
and
spread on your favorite bread or roll.
1/2 pound liverwurst 1/4 cup chopped celery 1/4 cup sweet pickle 1 tablespoon chopped onion 1 chopped hard boiled egg 3 tablespoons mayonnaise Mix all
together
and spread on your favorite bread or roll! 3 thinly sliced hot dogs(COOKED) 1/2 cup baked beans 2 tablespoons chopped onion 1 tablespoon chili sauce Mix all together and spread on your favorite bread or roll! Cheese Pimiento Sandwich: 1 cup shredded sharp cheese (experiment here) 2 tablespoons chopped pimiento 2 tablespoons mayonnaise Mix all together and spread on your
favorite bread or roll!
Planning a Party? If you will be using chopped onions, nuts, parsley, celery, etc. for your party dishes, get a step ahead of the game. Chop all of these the day before, wrap in saran wrap and place in refrigerator. This really will be a time saver. Do you remember when people used guest books? I had the pleasure of signing one a couple of years ago, and it really made me feel special! Keep the guestbook in view, so all will sign it. Makes for good memories and if gifts were given at the party, you will have a record of who was there. Try showing one at your next affair! You also record what was served and what seemed to be the biggest hit!
