    Excellent! You are a great hostess. You are right that it’s not only about the food but also how relaxed and excited you are to serve & enjoy being the host.

    Wow Erica you have even calmed me down for a simple dinner party I am hosting this evening. Thanks for sharing your excellent insights relaxed manner. I hope it rubs off! 😜

    Lists and writing down step by step menus and when to make make everything less chaotic. Plus, that good old staple, time management. That one is a work in progress that not always is working.
    You have the best laid back attitude and ideas.

    Great video. Very ambitious I always hope host inquire about dietary restrictions in advance or just forgo the nuts all together. I have an extremely severe tree nut allergy. Or I LOVE deconstructed style😊 Deconstruct those salads and let guest pick their items appropriately. It’s always a bummer when you have a severe allergy😊😊

    This is a cool video. I really like how much you seem to give yourself grace in saying "I can't/don't want to do that part, I'll get that store bought". I am well known for doing too much and stressing myself out and am working on taking shortcuts and not thinking less of myself bc of that. Most ppl honestly won't even notice or care, and will appreciate all the effort you've already put in.

    Loved this video! I love the idea of hosting friends for dinner instead of going out to a crowded restaurant. One thing that gives me confidence is to pick a main that I’ve made before. Trying out a new recipe for a dinner party makes me too nervous.

    I cannot wait to have a space I can host in! My teeny, tiny Japanese studio apartment (under 200 square feet) is crowded when I have one person over 😂. But one day I will live in a space where I can host.

    • @fresherica4402
      @fresherica4402  2 года назад

      One day! In the meantime, outside hosting is such a good option...maybe a little hanami picnic? :)

    Love this video! Post it’s on serving dishes is a game changer, I always forget and have to re-assess what goes where! 😂
    Maybe a video that somewhat watches you/walks through the prep leading up to guest arrival…do adding onto this video just more in depth/in action vs tips/tricks ???

    • @fresherica4402

    I'd love to know the amounts of chili pepper and honey for the Labne dish you made :) Also - buttered rice? Do you just add like a tablespoon of butter to the rice in the rice cooker? I saw you rinsed the rice first. Did you soak it at all?

    that's so rude whoever disliked her text message about dietary things. the person probably thought they were being funny but what if someone actually did have dietary restrictions like being a vegetarian and then felt uncomfortable to say.

    • @fresherica4402
      @fresherica4402  2 года назад +4

      Haha no worries, it wasn’t rude at all-We’re all good friends! The thumbs down was just meant to let me know that there were no new dietary restrictions, not to indicate anything negative about dietary restrictions in general haha!
