Nowadays, more and more people are entertaining guests at home to save money.  Well, of course, it depends on the number of invitees.    It is a dilemma for any host/hostess if there will be an overflowing  friends and families and not enough space for everyone.  So, we should be very careful when planning for a party. 

One tried and tested solution is to put up a buffet table  in the center of the room where people can help themselves and will encourage more mingling amongst the guests and would allow the host/hostess to enjoy the party.   The ever dependable chafing disks will save you from all the troubles.   The food stays warm during the party-the source of the heat is that from the spirit lamp or gas flame beneath the metal dish. 

We attended the  Birthday celebration of a friend the other day and it was held in their flat.  The tables were elegantly decorated and my friend’s wife was saved from all the hassles because they ordered from a local caterer.  The food was tasteful and inviting that is why we were not able to resist the temptation to try almost all of them including the desserts.

Well, we jokingly are telling friends that we are on “see foods diet” we eat when we see food.   Oh well, tomorrow is another day- to start thinking of our diet.
