As we prepare for more backyard shenanigans, I’m especially interested in our feature that offers up recipes for warm libations, which are ideal for serving our guests, especially around
a roaring fire. Toasty meets toasty. I love a theme. Changing up how (and where) we entertain can inject a new way
of handling all that prepping for guests entails. Sometimes, that can mean no longer performing backflips and removing all signs of normal family life to get a home ready for guests. I especially appreciate the perspective Sue Gartner shares in regard to her philosophy
for entertaining. As we enter the entertaining high season and many of you gather for Thanksgiving, our entire staff extends its thankfulness to you,
Readers, here, there and everywhere.
