We aspire to throw fancy dinner parties, complete with canapés and
creative cocktails, but without a team of elves to craft hundreds of
tiny vol-au-vents, we usually end up offering our guests take-out and
beer.
Were no longer a second rate hostess now that weve discovered Cool
& Simple gourmet frozen food. We stopped by their efficient
store to pick up everything we needed for our upcoming intimate soirée,
starting with scrumptious Asian-style salmon tartare ($19.95), followed
by a dinner of duck
magret ($28.95) and ending the night with some lovely macarons
de Paris ($9.95). We crossed our fingers and picked up some thaw-and-serve
brioche ($5.95) in case our little dinner party for two lasted until
the next morning.
We hear men love women who can cook. JN
