Birthdays



From Donna Pilato, your Guide to Entertaining
As birthday month continues, I was treated to an early birthday celebration by my sister-in-law over the weekend. Surprises are fun, even when you're a grownup. Have an Entertaining week!

Host a New England Clambake
Over this past weekend we traveled pretty close to New England, close enough to see an abundance of maple syrup in the stores. But we weren't close enough to get a New England clam bake for dinner, we were a little too inland for that. However, being that close reminded me that I should plan a New England Clam Bake party some time this summer, either one day at the beach or while at home, so that I can enjoy the flavors of the seashore.

Host a Party for Your Little Princess
It's been a while since either of my girls played princess. But when they went through that very pink stage in their lives, this was the ideal party for them and their friends.

Plan a Texas Barbecue Dinner Party
Summer parties are all about casual fun. And I don't think you can get much more casual than a Texas Barbecue Dinner Party, can you? Just think about it - all of your guests are picking up ribs with their fingers, dishing up mounds of beef, eating beans, and drinking iced tea or beer. It's kind of hard to be dignified with barbecue sauce all over your face and fingers as you wipe them off on a bandana. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it now.

Farm to Fork by Emeril Lagasse
Emeril Lagasse has spent years sharing his passion for cooking delicious food. I admire his dedication to teaching both adults and children that cooking isn't a scary activity and the results are well worth the trouble. His latest passion supports the popular locavore movement and he's a man on a mission to inspire the rest of us to shop and cook seasonally and locally. This week I review his new cookbook, Farm to Fork, which makes a compelling case for all of us to support our local farmers.
