Don't have a kosher omelett pan. But, deb, what of glass vesselsNora i`m sure everything will be just fine, you better buy plastic `cause that`s the easiest regarding kosher staff, if you have other Q about kosher , ask me and i`ll do my best...
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

Lovely SF pictures!
Thanks for posting those JZ.
Put the stuff for your guests out in whatever pretty bowls you have, and leave a bit of goodies in the bags and jars they come from, and Nilly will fill her plate from those. Easy peasy.
Nora, have both the glass bowls and throw away paper plates/bowls available, and then ask Nilly to get the kosher goodies ready. That way you don't need to keep worrying, she knows that they are prepared/set out properly, and everyone is happy.
eta: or what Allyson said.
I miss Nilly.
Nilly misses me! I miss her, too. I'm feeling irrationally protective of her, too. Not that Nilly can't defend herself, of course. She's a strong, audacious, wise young woman.
Thanks for the tips.
Edited back in so not to make the very nice Tal look crazy: Am I being an asshole?
am I being an asshole?Nora just tell Nilly you`re being "polania" and she will understend..
Nora, the most important thing to do is not worry. Nilly knows what needs to be done, and will make sure it is done that way. We all did a freak out in one way or another, and none of us really needed to.
am I being an asshole?
No, you're being a nervous host.
Tell you a seekrit. Know what Nilly likes best? When everyone gathers up in a circle and talks and talks and laughs. The food is secondary to Nilly. It's the lowest thing on the list of things she gives a shit about. She knows that she won't starve.
It's such an important thing to us, the act of breaking bread with people we love. Hosting means you're responsible for the feeding, i.e. the contentment of guests.
Think about what you'd like people to better remember; the conversations you had or the veggie dip. All you have to really do when you've got good company is to make sure no one gets food poisoning. A bucket of chicken and cans of store-brand soda are all that's needed when you have some comfy places to sit and good conversation, I swear. At least, that's what I tell myself.
Worry not as much as you are, Nora. But telling you to NOT!worry is unrealistic. Just means you care about your guest's comfort.
