Your Entertaing Notebook1

After you get home from the sales and sit down to catch your breath, take out your entertaining notebook.  You want to do this while everything is fresh in your mind.

Make a list of everything you put on the table with the amount ie: turkey 20 lbs. Now next to each item note whether you had leftovers and if you want it on your next menu.

Make notes of linens, tablescape, list of people  attending, and anything you want to change or add for the next time. You can use these notes for planning your Christmas dinner.
