You didn't cook that delectable five-course dinner
from scratch. So what? Stick to what you do best, whether it's cooking or
arranging flowers, and take a few shortcuts on the rest. A happy and
relaxed host ensures happy guests. Next week, no one will remember the
soufflé that flopped or the menu you labored over for hours. They
will, however, relish in recounting the meltdown you had at the table when
someone asked you to pass the salt and pepper. If you're no Nigella Lawson,
don't think twice about serving Chinese takeout. Dish it up with a smile,
and from a stylish platter -- so that there will be absolutely no guilt
over the takeout cartons hidden in your trash.
