Take A Peek on how to make this cake!       Safety Tips for Holiday Leftovers To ensure edible leftovers, make sure you do the following - 1. Chill leftover turkey right away. Place in small containers or ziploc bags for quick cooling. 2. Leftover turkey can be refrigerated for 3 - 4 days. Leftover stuffing and gravy should be used within 2 days. 3. You can freeze the leftover meat for one month. Make sure to wrap it tightly. 4. To freeze for longer periods, use the turkey in casseroles, soups or other prepared dishes that freeze well.   NEW Balloon Boquets Take A Peek at all the Balloon Boquets... more coming soon!         Quick Easy CHEAP Pan Greese & Cake Release Recipe by April Johnson 1 cup shortening 3/4 cup oil 1 cup flour Mix well, store in an airtight container.

'Speed Entertaining'
We've heard that there's a new trend out there: time-strapped hosts are cutting back on the hours of their cocktail parties (6-8 instead of 6-10 or 2 hours instead of 4 hours), serving fewer courses at dinner parties, and generally just trying to get guests in and out. They want to see friends but they also want to put the kids to sleep, watch their favorite TV program, and get a good night's sleep. Have you ever hosted a party like this? Have you ever been to a party like this? How did you feel about it?
