at the theater, where nothing more is demanded than
to sit back and enjoy, can be a welcome winter relief.
When entertaining after (après) the play, why not
continue this relaxed atmosphere? A simple, made-ahead meal is the perfect ticket.
While dining at a table may be customary, we
suggest eating casually and slowly in front of the
fireplace. Prepare delicious hors d’oeuvres to stave
off hunger pains while the meal cooks. Dessert is
a must, as is a warm, soothing drink.
Flowers should be uncomplicated. A gorgeous
blooming orchid plant or one lovely bouquet in a
casual vase is perfect.
An unhurried and carefree evening in the middle
of winter—now that’s a night to applaud.
