The chicken salad was prepared ahead of time. I made a cherry and pineapple dump cake and some sugar cookies. Fun slumber party type games were on the agenda.
Anticipating the giggles and secrets, I almost forgot to set out the lunch meat platter. I grabbed the meats and cheeses and slapped 'em on a plate.
My husband intervened.
"Oh, no, no, no," he said.
"You shouldn't just stack stuff up like that," he said. "Fluff and fold." "Fluff and fold."
"This isn't laundry!" I exclaimed.
"For Pete's sake, at least unwrap the cheeses," said he.
He couldn't believe my callousness and indifference about the matter.
I've since learned--it DOES look better when you fluff and fold your lunch meat...and unwrap the cheeses.
I mean, LUNCHEON meat.
Have a lovely day.
Well, in support of the 'fluff and fold' thoughts- it does look more appetizing. And why was he there for a girls day luncheon?
ReplyDeleteI know--it really does make a difference. He did manage to escape before the sillies took over.
DeleteCoincidentally, it was also a man who taught me the same thing. He was a carpenter, but he had once worked for a caterer.
ReplyDeleteHe sounds like a neat guy. I don't think about presentation as often as I should.
DeleteThat one got a small giggle. It does look better fluffed and folded.
ReplyDeleteSo simple, but it makes a difference. Have a great day!
DeleteBut, but, but those cheese wrappers offer an interactive platter.
ReplyDeleteInteractive! You crack me up. :)
