Ring Out the Old, Ring in the New!
NEW YEAR'S DAY is the time for resolutions, but why not make at least one resolution a little early: resolve to set the prettiest possible table for your New Year's celebration. And why not choose the easy buffet method of serving your guests?
Pictured here is a true "party" decoration for your table: two inexpensive paper bells (you can fashion them yourself out of construction paper if you prefer) tied together with a big bow. Horns placed at either side of the bells and attached to the back wall further add to the festivity of the setting. For a final touch of gaiety: confetti and streamers all around the centerpiece.
A perfect design in fine china for holiday or every day use is the Rhodora pattern by Lenox, which features a single perfect rose in the center of each translucent plate. Gold leaves surround the rose, and also decorate the plate's border.
Be sure to keep your china in distinct groupings, the coffee service at one end of the table. Line your silver and napkins in neat rows, and keep everything within easy reach. Such a table provides a most attractive background for your family and guests to ring in the bright new year! (ANS Features)
NEW YEAR'S PARTY LOAF
The first day of the year has been celebrated on different dates in different countries. It wasn't until 1751 that England accepted the Gregorian calendar which sets January 1 as the first of the year. But from very early times it has been a day of feasting and celebration and the exchanging of gifts. Even today in Scotland it is more generally observed than Christmas. Traditional special cakes and tarts are baked and exchanged. For New Year's party feasting it's fun to serve very special refreshments -so how about a New Year's party loaf. It can be made up well ahead and refrigerated until the very moment you serve.
To make the party loaf trim the crusts from 1 loaf unsliced enriched yeast-raised bread. Cut bread lengthwise in 4 slices. Fill with any desired fillings preferable contrasting in color. Frost the top and sides of the loaf with softened cream cheese. (It will take 4 3-ounce packages.) Reserve a little for decoration. Tint the reserved portion with red food coloring. With a pastry tube write Happy New Year plus any seasonal decoration. Chill. To serve slice loaf crosswise in thin slices.
