Fun fact : I've been making these kind of platters since about 6-7 years now and I got the reputation of being an amazing host, which wasn't the case when I used to spend hours in the kitchen while my guests where there in order to feed them all. 😂 And the best part is : NO MORE STRESS! I prepare the platters a few hours in advance and not only I'm ready and relaxed once people arrive, but I can enjoy the party like everyone else.

[@magiccookbook86]

Here's a few other ideas: 1.Make a nuggets platter, you can buy the 'ready to fry' nuggets and fry them and take sauces in bowls and keep it beside the sauces with the label! 2. Set up a make your own drinks bar where you just keep the sprite and juices and lemons and mints and basically whatever goes with drinks 3. idk what to call this but you just put boiled pasta in a BIG bowl and other bowls filled with different sauces (Red, white and pink) and plates and forks so that anyone can choose the pasta they want! 4. You could do a ramen bar where you put the boiled ramen noodles in a BIG bowl and the sauces (spicy, mild, with cheese, black bean etc) and small bowls with kimchi, cheese, sesame seeds and other ramen toppings.. That's it, hope I helped

[@tehminakazi6813]

All fantastic ideas, especially the ice cream bar!

[@lori3670]

I don't even know why I'm watching this as I don't have friends, but this video slaps! 🤣❤️

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

Food is a great way to introduce yourself to people. They really aren’t so bad once you get to know them. Maybe just a few at time. I’m very introverted so I can only deal with a handful before I’m overwhelmed and need a break.

[@k.v.6885]

@@user-vm5ud4xw6n let’s hope the one or two people aren’t a hand full. 🙃

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

@@k.v.6885 you have a point there. Sometimes it’s easier to deal with a crowd. They can calm down the ones who get a little cray-cray on you!

[@Puppysupi]

We can be friends hehe! Just smile more to the people!

[@rosemariefernandes6600]

It's nice to have friends. They can take your loneliness away. Some of them can make you feel special and you can do the same. Life is beautiful although it maybe painful sometimes.

[@lucywilkins4784]

The platter looks amazing! But not good for my diet

[@nicoleyoshihara4011]

You can try it with fruits and vegetables ^_^

[@stacygraham9978]

We have ice cream once a week if the kids have eaten there vegies all week (they are 2 and 4 and very picky lol) and it’s so much fun! Grazing boards look so good! You did amazing Emily 💗💗

Thanks, Emily, you gave me ideas for prepping up a (tiny version) of savoury snack platters covered in my fridge for my Mum, who is recently moved to nursing home close to me. Their food is good, but Mum deserves a little extra cos she is underweight 😉 Isn't it great to circulate again. Have fun!
