Make a Splash Into Memorial Day Weekend

Growing up in the North East sometimes the Holiday Weekend was warm and sunny but sometimes it was still too early for that Poolside Summer Weekend. Either way, I remember Memorial Day Weekend as a time for good food, great music, friends, and always family.

Two Distinct Styles Of Hosting

There are many ways one can host and I personally love both. Who doesn’t want a pretty fine dining experience but I totally I understand the work of both and understand entertaining is not an instinct to everyone. Sometimes you have family members or friends who think they have everything under control and they are a natural when it comes to hosting but truly have no clue how to properly entertain guests.
