Fanning, Saturday, November 14, 1998 Celebrate At The (Continued from Page B 2) BUFFETS “Set up the food on a long buffet table that is ‘landscaped’ at diffe rent levels to add interest and easier access,” said Christenna Stamm. To do this you need a base table covering. Locate assorted boxes or tin cans to create a variety of levels to serve as a base for platters and bowls. Be sure the boxes are sturdy enough to hold the food. Cover the boxes or cans with a complemen tary cloth draped over them. If you use slow cookers and electric skillets to keep food hot, set the table near outlets and tape down cords to prevent hazards. HOLIDAY OPEN HOUSE Food and beverages can be arranged throughout the room or even in more than one room. The tables should look coordinated but need not match. CENTERPIECES For a sit-down dinner, a center piece needs to be low enough to talk over or tall enough to be above eye level. Centerpieces no longer need to be fresh flowers and candles. Select items that coordinate with the event. For example, a Thanks giving centerpiece can be a combi nation of gourds, pilgrim figurines, potted mums, and dried weeds. A Christmas centerpiece can be arranged with glittery holiday balls, fresh greens, ribbons, pine cones, gingerbread cutouts, and small packages. Christenna Stamn suggests using a football helmet for a buffet for the guys.
