Truly, plating is an art. The plate is the canvas. The grand finale.
You get where I am going with this.
Some of the most fun that I ever have in doing dinner parties is shopping for interesting plates and platters, small plates for condiments, small bowls, soy sauce dishes, chopstick holders, candle holders, wine & Port glasses, silverware, linen napkins and table clothes...then there is the finishing touch, and if I wind up at a great florist selecting gorgeous flowers, then I am done plating. That is where my mind goes.
Sorry I did try to stop the flow.
Just cant do it!!

This is so amazing to me. I think about all of those things when I have a party. Every little touch... Platters, plates, if I am serving buffet style, is the food at different levels so it can be seen and accessed. are there napkins and plates available at different locations so they are where they will be needed. Are there candles out, does the room smell right. Hosting is so much fun for me. I would love to be able to do it on a grander scale like that, even just once.
