What is the proper attire for family day; the day before basic training graduation?

Q. My son graduates from bct next month. I have found the answer for proper attire at the graduation itself, but what about family day? The day before graduation, I believe spent on base with your soldier.

A. Think church picnic.

Yes, I would also consider the weather and comfort, but also keep inmind that this is professional. If the OTHER PEOPLE at the picnic would feel comfortable with you wearing that outfit to a church picnic - and it suits the weather - you'll be fine.

And you can just watch the people that show up in tiny micro-dresses and short-shorts, and the dirty looks they get... and the other people in long sleeves and jeans that are dying from the heat... and laugh.

What would you recommend to serve at a baby shower?

Q. I'm throwing a baby shower for my best friend in late March, I'm throwing it in a park and there will be no more than 30 people there. What do you think?

A. A picnic is a great idea!! Depending on the crowd you are pleasing you could go different directions, if it's going to be a fluffy, really girly kind of baby shower then some great little sandwiches de-crusted with cream cheese and cucumber, or prosciutto with arugula and brie, would be great. Also you could have a little dessert bar at the end where you bring picnic friendly desserts. Her cake, for example, could maybe be a cupcake cake so you don't have to worry about sharp knives and everything, it's also easy to assemble while you are at the park and you can make it as small or as large as you want, it's even easy to take home because it can be divided up if someone want to take some home with them. For the rest of the dessert bar you can get one of those little chocolate dessert fountains, they have some I think that are battery powered now and they are only like 30 bucks but totally worth it. Then you can set out marshmallows and dried fruits, strawberries, cookies and any other snacks to dip in. As for side dishes, a nice cole slaw with a vinaigrette instead of the traditional mayo is always nice and keeps better for a picnic. Also a nice pesto pasta salad is always a hit. I make mine with a bunch of basil olive oil parmesan cheese and toasted pine nuts and garlic whip it all together in a blender and pour the olive oil in until you reach your desired consistency then boil some pasta noodles anything you have, chop some dry salami, not the kind that's already pre-sliced, add some chunks of cheddar cheese and some salt and pepper toss to coat and viola, be sure to keep it cold though (one of my moms inventions). The veggie and the fruit tray is a great idea and I always make this dip that is absolutely to die for with my fruit platters, it's 1 package regular Philadelphia cream cheese (the little block package) and one jar of Jet puffed Marshmallow whip, be sure to have the cream cheese at room temperature when you mix it but pop it in the fridge after you make it to get it cold for the picnic (Helpful Hint: If you know the sex of the baby you can dye the dip as well as the frosting for the cake accordingly, if not just leave it white) . As for drinks since the Mommy to be can't drink I would recommend making a spritzer sort of thing with some of her favorite juices and some ginger age or sprite, if you want to go a little lighter on sugar you can use sparkling water instead of soda, also you can use frozen fruit to keep everyones drinks cold instead of ice cubes, they're edible healthy and stay cold almost as long ( this is what I do and find it to be much better). Good Luck, hope this helped!!! Happy Feasting!!

What are some unique location ideas for a wedding reception?

Q. Early planning stages for a wedding and want to do something fun for the reception. We're thinking about a picnic or backyard, but we've also considered the children's museum or a bowling alley. Any suggestions?

A. Picnic receptions are fun because there is such a large choice of beautiful inexpensive decorating ideas. Also, you can get really creative with the food choices, and it is more informal. You can decorate with beautiful plants and flowers in planters that you can actually use in/around your home after the wedding instead of wasting all that money on picked flowers.

I make mine with a bunch of basil olive oil parmesan cheese and toasted pine nuts and garlic whip it all together in a blender and pour the olive oil in until you reach your desired consistency then boil some pasta noodles anything you have, chop some dry salami, not the kind that's already pre-sliced, add some chunks of cheddar cheese and some salt and pepper toss to coat and viola, be sure to keep it cold though (one of my moms inventions). The veggie and the fruit tray is a great idea and I always make this dip that is absolutely to die for with my fruit platters, it's 1 package regular Philadelphia cream cheese (the little block package) and one jar of Jet puffed Marshmallow whip, be sure to have the cream cheese at room temperature when you mix it but pop it in the fridge after you make it to get it cold for the picnic (Helpful Hint: If you know the sex of the baby you can dye the dip as well as the frosting for the cake accordingly, if not just leave it white) . As for drinks since the Mommy to be can't drink I would recommend making a spritzer sort of thing with some of her favorite juices and some ginger age or sprite, if you want to go a little lighter on sugar you can use sparkling water instead of soda, also you can use frozen fruit to keep everyones drinks cold instead of ice cubes, they're edible healthy and stay cold almost as long ( this is what I do and find it to be much better). Good Luck, hope this helped!!! Happy Feasting!!

What is the proper attire for family day; the day before basic training graduation?

Q. My son graduates from bct next month. I have found the answer for proper attire at the graduation itself, but what about family day? The day before graduation, I believe spent on base with your soldier.

A. Think church picnic.

Yes, I would also consider the weather and comfort, but also keep inmind that this is professional. If the OTHER PEOPLE at the picnic would feel comfortable with you wearing that outfit to a church picnic - and it suits the weather - you'll be fine.

And you can just watch the people that show up in tiny micro-dresses and short-shorts, and the dirty looks they get... and the other people in long sleeves and jeans that are dying from the heat... and laugh.

What would you recommend to serve at a baby shower?

Q. I'm throwing a baby shower for my best friend in late March, I'm throwing it in a park and there will be no more than 30 people there. What do you think?

A. A picnic is a great idea!! Depending on the crowd you are pleasing you could go different directions, if it's going to be a fluffy, really girly kind of baby shower then some great little sandwiches de-crusted with cream cheese and cucumber, or prosciutto with arugula and brie, would be great. Also you could have a little dessert bar at the end where you bring picnic friendly desserts. Her cake, for example, could maybe be a cupcake cake so you don't have to worry about sharp knives and everything, it's also easy to assemble while you are at the park and you can make it as small or as large as you want, it's even easy to take home because it can be divided up if someone want to take some home with them. For the rest of the dessert bar you can get one of those little chocolate dessert fountains, they have some I think that are battery powered now and they are only like 30 bucks but totally worth it. Then you can set out marshmallows and dried fruits, strawberries, cookies and any other snacks to dip in. As for side dishes, a nice cole slaw with a vinaigrette instead of the traditional mayo is always nice and keeps better for a picnic. Also a nice pesto pasta salad is always a hit.

What are some unique location ideas for a wedding reception?

Q. Early planning stages for a wedding and want to do something fun for the reception. We're thinking about a picnic or backyard, but we've also considered the children's museum or a bowling alley. Any suggestions?

A. Picnic receptions are fun because there is such a large choice of beautiful inexpensive decorating ideas. Also, you can get really creative with the food choices, and it is more informal. You can decorate with beautiful plants and flowers in planters that you can actually use in/around your home after the wedding instead of wasting all that money on picked flowers.
