Woman • November 2011 • 9 Grocers, specialty stores can add a personal touch to your party

By Helen Niemiec Contributing Writer

Markets have made party planning so much easier for the busy host or hostess. Get a party platter or fully cater the spe­ cial event — leaving a person more time to plan the guest list, decorations and fit it into a busy life. Market chefs, though, have a number of creative ideas that can make the occasion a little more “homemade” with person­ al touches. Add an ingredient here or put together a simple appetizer that reflects new trends in dining and the host/hostess can take a bit more credit for a fabulous meal. The place to start is with the idea of what to serve. Check out the local ads and mar­ ket websites for ideas plus orders can be placed online. With that decided, figure out a way to incorporate ingredients so what is being served is uniquely one’s own. Chefs recommend keeping in mind that holiday gatherings are about opening one’s home to family and friends and that the food is a secondary, though important, concern. Good fare, whether complete­ ly catered or adapted, is appreciated by guests. Jeff Sharrow, executive chef at Busch's, said adding an interesting touch to the table can make people talk. Hot in the food industry right now are salted caramel with chocolate (both in desserts and in coffees), puff pastries used for savory appetizers and a new take on old favorites, such as using walnuts instead of pine nuts in pesto. Tty using one of the colored salts to sea­ son seafood or meat, he said. “Each has a unique flavor. It’s almost like researching Spice it up la flavor infuses in the sugar.

I had laser hair removal on my lip & chin over three years ago with Beth. It changed my life. I had such severe facial hair I shaved my face every morning (like 5 o’clock shadow hairy.) After waxing me one day Beth gently asked me “Why don’t you have the laser hair removal done?” The Best Money I told her that I had tried that. I went to Henry Ford Fairlane paid $1000 for my chin area and had 8 treatments. I then sarcastically said “Clearly it doesn’t w ork.” She promised me that after one treatment I’d see a difference. I really wanted to believe that it could work. I had my first treatment and noticed a difference. After 3 treatments my friends and co-workers noticed it too. By the time I was done I finally felt like a I’ve Ever Spent! girl. My self esteem was restored. It’s been three years and I have thanked Beth, Renee, & Fatima every time I see them for taking such wonderful care of me. I referred every woman I know to see them.

(Actual Testimonial from Kimmy K., For less than the price of a Coach purse, I’m NEVER going to have to shave my underarms again. I’m investing in ME!
