Fun food art - I
Presenting food with style.
Often when we invite people for a formal dinner we serve loads of snacks.And it does involve a lot of serving and running around with tray in our hands.This time when I did the party I planned to surprise my guests by putting on display a little bit of food art.The guests were not only delighted and entertained through the evening but so generously showered their praises that it did away with my fatigue of running around and made my evening.Encouraged by their sweet li'l words I'm sharing with you some of the pics that I managed to click through the busy time.

First came the curly ribbons placed randomly in the tray.
These were made of radish and carrots.
Something made out of a lemon.Cannot decide what it is............;)........Can you???
Tried it for the first time.A penguin made of brinjal (Aubergine)
Cute li'l fellow.
Then came the cucumber and radish curly ribbons once again.
Little candles sitting on the tray made with two pieces of washcloth were the final presentation.
You can find instructions on how to make these handkerchief candles from here.
So this is it.Do tell me what you think of them.Will add more pics when I get new ideas and host a party again.Try them out in a party of yours and people will remember you for quite a while.......You can also check a very good website with loads of wonderful creations at littlefoodjunction.blogspot.com
Until next time,
Take care.

A Quick Fix Party Game
Sometimes it happens that you have to organize a party in a jiffy and you are damn busy with the cooking and serving part.You do not have enough time to entertain the guests properly.You cannot even plan a game for them so as to keep them busy with it because it ultimately requires your attention in explaining,executing and then the most time consuming part checking the answers and all (especially for paper games).
I found a game exactly for such times and thought of sharing it.You will have to do nothing except get printed copies of the game,provide stationary and go and set up the table until the guests are busy.The guests will keep themselves and each other entertained with this game.
And, in case you have ample time and are not busy, the fun is double.While the guests are busy solving you can have a great time watching people playing it.
The fun the game involves can only be understood if you yourself give it a try right now.So right now print the instructions below and grab a pen and proceed further.Let's see how fast can you do it.
So here goes the game.
p.s.-And Please by any chance "DO NOT" participate in the poll at the bottom of this post...........;D
Until next time,
Keep Smiling.
