I just had my Hanukkah party here. I used so many SA pieces! I used the rectangular platter with handles for the Latkes (used the cookware to make while everyone chatted) - the tongs to serve, the rectangular stand with 2 medium bowls for the sour cream and applesauce. I microwaved the chicken in the covered deep stone (my Sister in law wants it now since her son LOVED the chicken). I baked a huge ziti-with meatballs dish in my rectangular stone - served with large serving spatula. I made the julienne vegetables (zucchini, carrots, yellow squash sauteed in grill pan with our oil and a clove of spritzed garlic) sreved in rectangular platter. TWO guests had to know how to make it, they were so impressed!
Apps: cheese and crackers on little cheese board with bistro set. A pesto sauce in small bowl with cubed beer bread (tastefully simple but I vow to try ours next time) on medium square. Vegetable platter on large square with 2 small bowls in center with dips. Candy in small bowls with bamboo small spoons. I had an olive & small marinated fresh mozz. tray too.
Dessert: I had 2 medium plates on the top & bottom of the stands filled with different cookies. The center was a small plate (I was out of other pieces) filled with strawberries. And I made the Molten Chocolate Skillet Brownie for the first time! I had the brownie mix made b/f the party started so when we started opening gifts it went in the oven. :)
