Re a Staff Correspondent For everyone, New Year’s Eve is party time. Out with the old and in with the new. Whether you plan a sit-down dinner for your guests or serve a snack buffet, your party can be successful and fun for all, the hostess included. When planning a party, organiza- tion is really the name of the game. Keep these tips in mind when plan- ning your party. How many guests can you comfortably handle? Keep in mind the capacity of your home. Note the type and amount of equip- ment you have to use. Choose dishes that can be prepared the day before. Keep your budget in mind - you can have a lovely ‘party and keep within your budget by careful planning. Since our house has a small dining room and living room, a buffet is the ideal form of entertain- ing for me. During the holidays when everyone seems to be con- stantly eating, I usually serve hors d’oeuvres, chips, assorted crackers, fresh vegetables and dip. For sweet treats, I serve my Christmas cook- ies, homemade fudge and fruitcake. If you are planning to serve snacks, here are several recipes you may find useful. Nibble Mix is nice to serve to both adults and children. This recipe makes a large quantity, so it is ideal for the holiday season. Nibble Mix stores well; it can be kept in weeks. Nibble Mix is a nice snack to serve year round, especially as an after school snack. : Prairie Fire is a favorite of those who like Mexican food. This hot corn chips. Keep Prairie Fire hot over hot water to insure the best flavor. Ham-Cheese Logs are easy to prepare and can be made a day ahead. A combination of cheddar cheese, cream cheese, deviled ham, and pitted ripe olives, Ham-Cheese Logs are served with assorted crackers. Hot Cheese-Chive Dip is flavored with white wine, dry mustard and snipped chives. Served with tris- cuits, Hot Cheese-Chive Dip is a SEAFOOD SALADS SOFTSHELL CRAB nol si NO COVER CHARGE - NO MINIMUM CHARGE > v NO INCREASE IN PRICES! en RING IN "THE NEW YEAR" 1984 - WITH YOUR FRIENDS {i | HATS, NOISEMAKERS AND A GOOD TIME FOR EVERYONE -, FRESH FRESH FRE SH pve SHRIMP CLAMS or MUSSELS HARDSHELL CRABS E i S 5 0 THF H FAILS WITH FRE H BES ror $2.95 Mocs $3.75 00k $2.95 Me co saw $3.75 oroEr $2.95 Mo dnrcan $3.75 WE SERVE MAIRE LOBSTERS SCALLOPS DEVILED CRAB CLAMS HADDOCK T BONE STEAKS STUFF LOBSTER STUFF SHRIMP.

If the dip becomes too thick, thin it with a little more milk and add a dash more of dry mustard. Make: a toast to the New Year with Champagne Punch. A blend of champagne, triple sec, maraschino syrup, lemon juice and club soda, Champagne Punch is a delicious party drink. Bringing in the New Year is celebrated in various ways. In some homes, the room is swept, sweeping the old year out the door; some signal the arrival of the New Year with a gunshot or firecrackers, some just toast in the New Year. However you celebrate, best wishes for a Happy New Year.
