I've learnt my lessons with parties - try not to be too ambitious and plan the menu carefully. I try not to have too many stove cook meals and rely a lot on the oven. With parties more than 15 pax - out comes the disposables.

Good that you've had the tablecloth covering the marble island, wine stains are hard / near impossible to get rid. There's a marble spray that you can get from Home FIX, I used it daily on my dinning table after every meal. It helps protects the marble.

sigh... talking about disposables.. i bought the silver disposable cutlery (cos it looks very nice and looks real) and in the end, somebody accidentally threw away my real fork! did a check with WMF and they don't sell loose forks... sigh...

It's heart breaking to know that someone did that... must be too much wine during the party.

I can understand how you feel. I had similar incidents too - I had tablespoon/ teaspoon/ forks / vegetable peeler that went missing ... I keep separate sets of cutleries - the daily used set and that for entertainment. If your current set is still available, would suggest that you get an extra set if you are particular about matching your cutleries... I regretted not getting more of the same set ..

Worse - my MIL used by WMF larding knife to open tin can and the Chef knife to "chop" coconut. I was fuming mad when I saw the condition of my knives ... can't scold MIL so continued using the ugly knives for 5 yrs .. bought a new set to replace the current one. Will use the new set at the new place since she is no longer staying with us.. Have "trained" my current helper to use the appropriate knives..

ya boy… i feel heart pain for u too… i haven't thought of a solution yet but i guess i would need to either buy another loose fork from other brands to replace it or try to buy a new set or something… sigh..

u are right, cannot scold ur MIL hahaha.. if not ur days ahead will be tough.. anyway i went to pick up some disposable cutlery for my upcoming house gathering again.. this time round, i chose the white ones instead of the pretty silver looking ones.. scared liao!

We received our first pressie from our friends who came over for xmas gathering.. grateful grateful! Our friends bought us a Philips air fryer + some capitaland vouchers (on our request) so that we could do our own shopping for household stuff when we have time!

Does anyone have any tips on the air fryer? Can't wait to try out some luncheon meat on it hehehe

Luncheon meat with the airfryer is a perfect match! Cut it thinly and air-fried longer and you will get luncheon meat fries - yummy!

this is what happens when i have too much free time ....

Spotted a groupon deal today offering the electric kettle in black (top right) at $59.90 ! Me & bf actually like the one in grey but saw on amazon sellg at 120+ usd ... we didn't buy obviously... thus succumb to the groupon deal for the black one... looks pretty good as well IMO.
