I try to plan everything ahead of time so that I'm not rushing around when my guests show up, but sometimes the time gets away from me :)Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09405010813656127667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206051023554402908.post-63821981612794508822009-05-19T21:09:39.859-04:002009-05-19T21:09:39.859-04:00It is great advice Robin Sue. I have been stressing all week for an upcoming large all weekend party at my house. I keep thinking clean, clean, clean. I am probably driving my kids crazy. I love this dessert. That was definitely quick thinking on your part.Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16945911444997924849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206051023554402908.post-63690624961169993042009-05-19T19:23:22.976-04:002009-05-19T19:23:22.976-04:00You know I had just looked at a recipe for Kataifi and I was confused because your picture was way different than what I had seen. But yours sure does make things easier. That's thinking on your feet! It does look yummy!Lindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02057300751677082169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206051023554402908.post-23091622957484814272009-05-19T18:22:03.928-04:002009-05-19T18:22:03.928-04:00I have no perfection issues... I wish i did. BUT, I love to throw parties...supper parites not WOOHOO parites (too old for that and it was never my thing anyway). I love to entertain.<br />You make it seem so easy...

My girlfriend catered an entire party with TJ's and it was lovely. All in the presentation of course. She placed the cakes on different height stands and placed the apps on such pretty platters.

I always have to serve my best. And, I'm flipping out at the moment because there are going to be 20 people here for an event on THursday, I feel like I should start cooking this minute and I don't have the time.
