Every year when November rolls around, I begin to feel just a little anxious about the Holidays. If I am hosting that year, it’s safe to say that the “little” part is multiplied by 10. I start cleaning, purging, and rearranging/ redecorating a month in advance. At the same time, I’m planning the menu in my head or collaborating with my mother on another continent at 50 RPM’s/second and I ALWAYS forget something.
Hosting, for me, kind of takes the fun out of hosting. If you’re organized like my husband, you can sit and enjoy a cocktail and a conversation with your loved ones. If you’re always running around, it isn’t quite so pretty. One of the easiest holiday celebrations I’ve ever hosted was when I had it catered. If you’re busy (and who isn’t?), I recommend you save yourself the agony of menu planning (and the defeat of a lackluster meal), a few hundred trips to the grocery store, the hassle of checking the turkey 80 times to see if it’s done and just hire a professional.
Whether you’d like a traditional holiday celebration with turkey, ham and all the trimmings, a delicious vegetarian alternative or dreaming of a Mediterranean-themed affair, the Gourmet Genie does it all in style, can offer budget-wise menu selections and can even clean up afterwards! How’s that for a reason to celebrate?
As for me, I have a lot to be thankful for. For one thing, our first quarterly newsletter is complete and not a moment too soon. You can sign up to join our mailing list on the website and have the next one delivered right to your inbox. Possibly more importantly, the Gourmet Genie IS catering all my celebrations this year, leaving me more time to work on things like NEXT quarter's newsletter.
Cheers! and here's hoping the Holidays don't drive you mad.
