I think it is adorable. Likewise with the pears. At least you are classic and traditional. Hell, even if I had ordered in chinese food for a party I&#39;d still decorate the table... that&#39;s what etiquette and playing hostess is about, jeez!Worthingtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02509683372492114140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8382040689391514421.post-46408910889400725952009-12-02T06:03:29.589-05:002009-12-02T06:03:29.589-05:00I&#39;m in charge of Christmas dinner, and I feel your pain about things getting done at the same time and having enough places to cook them all.<br /><br />I have used my slow cookers to keep things warm without actually overcooking them. Luckily, our microwave is also a convection oven, so that helps. Bought a roaster when it was 75% off, just to save space in the oven. And this summer I bought a cheap, but big toaster oven that can be set to different temperatures. Which I plan to place in the back entryway when I am cooking. <br /><br />Love your blog!Suzy Qhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00116459704218000838noreply@blogger.com
