Got an email this past week from a friend who concocts a signature cocktail each year for the Holiday Bash at the 513 Bar and Grill. 100 days until the get together for 2017. That’s what it has come down to .. our home is turned into the 513 Bar and Grill on an annual basis. Good food, good drink and good friends. Hence, the Cocktail, Calories and Conversation. All the makin’s of a great shindig if you ask me. But it is a journey, a fun journey most of the time – but a journey none the less. That is what brought this blog to this point. I save holiday magazines ( some back to 1985 ) and recipes ( hundreds and hundreds). Fills a closet and just about any other flat surface in our home. I fear I may be a hoarder. I will send along pictures when I get brave enough! So let’s Start the Party and More!!

First step : Pull out a few spiral notebooks. I love spiral notebooks – buy a ton when they are $.25. Actually this is when I start to clip coupons and buy my staples when I have a few extra bucks and they are on sale: artichoke hearts, Hellman’s mayo etc.
Second step: Start looking at table covers meaning fabric at Joanne’s or WalMart that might fit my needs. I like to use a different cover mix and match each year without spending bigstart bucks.
Third step: Start looking at everything in a different way. I like to serve all one bites so some big food gets miniaturized.
Ok that enough for the start of this ride. Don’t want to scare you off. It is not rocket science just the art of fun. If the host/hostess is having fun so will be guests. You know it is that old adage: Treat guests like family and family like guests!
Now let’s have some fun!!
