ENTERTAINING OUTDOORS

Posted in Entertaining, Food, Garden Design, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on September 13, 2016| Leave a Comment »

Enjoying a beautiful meal on the patio is something many of us love to do and with the weather finally cooling down, especially here in Southern California, I’m looking forward to spending more of my evenings outside. A photo that has been a big inspiration to me, for this very purpose, is the one below from House Beautiful.

WEEKEND MENU

The Menu

Some of the most enjoyable entertaining I’ve done has been when friends happened to pop over last-minute. There is not that initial pressure of having everything perfect, and people are usually more relaxed with little expectations for the evening ahead. When this happens, my “go-to menu” typically consists of some type of salad, a good cheese and meat platter, some nuts and some kind of cracker/bread. I also keep some good chocolate in the fridge for something sweet at the end. No cooking involved. Super easy!

Happy Weekend!

MY WEEKEND GOAL

I’ve had this picture at my desk for years! I tore it out of W Magazine in ’03. It’s not a fancy or staged photograph – just family and friends around a table for an afternoon lunch. A good reminder to me to take time out and enjoy the small things in life — a long meal with family & friends.

Cheers!
