Tip of the Week

Look here each Monday for a new tip to make entertaining a snap!

11/22/99 - Preparing Your Coffee in Advance

Prepare your after-dinner coffee before guests arrive, and you will save time when you're clearing the dinner dishes and trying to serve your guests dessert. After the coffee is brewed, store it in a thermal carafe that has been pre-warmed with hot water. The carafe can be brought to the table for serving and no one needs to wait to dig into dessert.

If you have a tip you'd like to share, email your Guide at entertaining.guide@about.com. If selected, I will post it with your name in future weeks.
