Entertaining

[Claire]

I think we could use a thread about entertaining. I have many friends are afraid of having people over .. even a few .. and call me in a panic before their get-together. I personally have a "bunch for brunch" who meet every month and so am looking for new ideas. I think that an entertaining line would be a good thing.

I agree!
I love entertaining and do a GREAT job of it (at least I think so)
but, I always get really nervous before a dinner or party. I'd love hints
on how to make things easier.
