AND REALLY IMPRESS YOUR GUESTS.
SO HERE TO HELP US DO JUST THAT IS LIFESTYLE EXPERT
AND PARTY PLANNER EXTRAORDINAIRE, LIMOR SUSS.
WELCOME BACK TO THE SHOW.
THANK YOU MUCH!
WELCOME! SO YOU GOT SOME FUN STUFF FOR US FOR MEMORIAL DAY?
YEAH. SO A LOT OF REALLY FUN, REALLY FUSS-FREE WAYS, RIGHT,
TO KIND OF ENTERTAIN IF YOU HAVE SOME PEOPLE COMING OVER.
SO THE FIRST THING, OF COURSE I HAVE POPSICLES IN MY HAND.
IT'S THE UNOFFICIAL START OF SUMMER.
SO ONE WAY TO KIND OF GREET YOUR GUESTS
IS WITH DRINKS RIGHT WHEN THEY WALK IN THROUGH THE DOOR.
AND OVER HERE I HAVE SOME PROSECCO.
AND THEN WHAT I'VE DONE HERE IS I'VE JUST GOT THESE POPSICLES.
AND YOU JUST STICK THEM RIGHT INTO THE DRINKS.
OH, YEAH!
AND THEN YOU HAND ONE OVER TO EACH PERSON
AS THEY WALK IN THROUGH THE DOOR.
OH, LOVELY!
AND USUALLY I WOULD LIKE TO USE LIKE A LIME,
OR A LEMON, OR A STRAWBERRY, BUT THEY ONLY HAD PINA COLADA -
OR THEY ONLY HAD COCONUT AT THE SUPERMARKET TODAY,
SO I WAS LIKE, ALL RIGHT, WHATEVER,
I'M GOING TO GET THE COCONUT.
IT ACTUALLY TASTES LIKE A PINA COLADA.
WHAT? I LOVE PINA COLADAS.
SO WHAT I FOUND OUT IS THAT YOU CAN
USE ANY FLAVOR IN THE PROSECCO
AND IT WILL BE DELICIOUS. HOW CUTE IS THAT!
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE RUM, TOO,
BECAUSE SOMETIMES RUM CAN BE A LITTLE HARD ON OUR PARTY.
YEAH, IT CAN.
EXACTLY. SO I JUST DID PROSECCO HERE.
AND IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING FOR LIKE LITTLE KIDS,
YOU CAN DO PROBABLY LIKE WATER, OR SELTZER, OR ORANGE
SPRITE IF YOU WANTED TO, THOUGH THAT'S A LOT OF SUGAR.
RIGHT. LET'S DO SELTZER WATER.
OKAY, YEAH. SO WHAT I'VE DONE HERE, ALSO, IS -
DO YOU REMEMBER MELAMINE - MELAMINE,
LIKE PLASTIC WARE? OH, YEAH.
SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY GET THEM AT LIKE SUPERMARKETS,
YOU CAN GET THEM IN HOME STORES.
AND WHAT'S GREAT ABOUT IT IS
IF IT FALLS OR DROPS ON THE FLOOR, IT WON'T BREAK.
AND THEY'RE VERY STURDY FEELING, WHICH IS NICE.
YEAH!
YEAH, SO THIS FEELS LIKE PLASTIC,
AND YOU DON'T WANT GLASS.
NO!
ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE BY A POOL.
YEAH, EXACTLY.
SO HERE, OVER HERE, WHAT I'VE DONE IS INSTEAD
OF JUST HOT DOGS AND HAMBURGERS,
MY HUSBAND IS A HUGE CHICKEN FAN
SO I ALWAYS HAVE CHICKEN AT MY BARBECUES.
THE EASIEST THING TO DO IS JUST PUT ON A RUB IN THE MORNING
AND THEN YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU -
WHATEVER IT IS YOU HAVE AROUND THE HOUSE,
WHETHER YOU HAVE LIKE - WHATEVER SEASONINGS YOU HAVE,
JUST THROW THEM, MIX THEM ALL TOGETHER,
SALT AND PEPPER, WHATEVER, PUT THEM ON THE CHICKEN.
AND I ACTUALLY LIKE TO USE THE CHICKEN THIGH
AND DRUMSTICK QUARTERS RIGHT HERE.
THEY'RE REALLY GOOD. NICE BIG PIECE.
IT'S LIKE A NICE BIG PIECE FOR EVERYONE,
AND IT'S A LOT LESS EXPENSIVE THAN THE CHICKEN BREAST.
WELL, IT ALSO STAYS JUICIER LONGER.
EXACTLY.
I MEAN, IF YOU GRILL A WHITE MEAT, IT JUST GETS SO DRY.
EXACTLY. AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO OVERTHINK YOUR MENU.
I HAVE SOME CORN, I HAVE SOME SALADS HERE.
SOME COLESLAW AND VEGGIES. AND YOU'RE GOOD TO GO.
THIS LOOKS FUN.
OKAY. SO WHAT I'VE DONE HERE IS ACTUALLY USED BEACH TAILS
-BEACH PAILS -AS DéCOR.
SO I HAVE THINGS FOR THE KIDS TO DO.
I HAVE - I BOUGHT SOME BUBBLES.
YOU CAN GET THEM AT ANY CVS OR WALGREENS OR WHEREVER.
THEY WERE 99 CENTS. I GOT THEM IN ALL DIFFERENT COLORS.
OVER HERE I HAVE A SUNSCREEN AND BUG SPRAY STATION,
SO AS PEOPLE ARE OUTSIDE AND THEY NEED SOME OF THAT,
YOU HAVE THAT COVERED FOR KIDS AND FOR ADULTS.
AND THEN OVER HERE I JUST HAVE SOME SNACKS FOR THE KIDS.
SO ANY SNACKS THAT YOU WANT THAT YOUR KIDS WOULD LIKE.
BUT WHAT I HAVE DONE HERE IS INSTEAD
OF JUST GETTING LIKE A LARGE THING OF GOLDFISH
AND PUTTING IT INTO THE PAIL -
RIGHT.
BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE A TON LEFT OVER, YOU DON'T KNOW, LIKE,
HOW GERMY THOSE HANDS WERE.
UM HMM.
SO YOU JUST GET LIKE THE SNACK SIZE ONES
AND THEN PUT THEM IN HERE,
AND THEN THEY ARE REALLY EASY TO KIND OF GRAB AND GO,
AND PARENTS CAN SEE (INAUDIBLE).
WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS IS IF YOU GO TO SOMEONE HOUSE
AND THEY THOUGHT ABOUT PUTTING IT IN A FUN LITTLE BUCKET
AS OPPOSED TO JUST A BOX, IT'S REALLY WELCOMING.
IT'S SAYING WE CARE ABOUT YOU, WE'RE SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.
AS OPPOSED TO JUST HERE'S A PAPER PLATE
AND REACH INSIDE THE BOX AND GET A BAGGIE.
EXACTLY. YOU KNOW.
AND THESE WERE A DOLLAR AT TARGET.
JUST A DOLLAR?
SO, I MEAN, AND USE THEM EVERY YEAR, RIGHT?
EXACTLY. USE THEM EVERY YEAR, AND THEN AFTERWARD
YOU CAN BRING THEM TO THE BEACH OR THE SANDBOX
OR WHEREVER FOR YOUR KID. ALL RIGHT.
OR GIVE THEM AWAY AS A PARTY FAVOR AT THE END.
YEAH, AT THE END OF THE PARTY! EXACTLY.
PERFECT.
OKAY. SO WHAT I'VE DONE HERE IS A DESSERT STATION.
SO FOR ADULTS WHAT I HAVE IS NOOSA YOGURT.
SO THESE ARE NOOSA MATES.
SO WHAT - I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT NOOSE BEFORE,
BUT NOOSE IS LIKE THICK AND RICH AND VELVETY.
AND THEIR MATES LINE IS ACTUALLY NEW.
SO WHAT IT IS, IS LIKE YOU HAVE ALL THE FLAVORS
- PREMIUM FLAVORS ON THE INSIDE,
SO YOU HAVE LIKE PRETZELS, AND NUTS, AND PREMIUM CHOCOLATE.
YOU POUR IT RIGHT INTO THE YOGURT.
IT'S THICK, IT'S VELVETY. IT'S DELICIOUS.
YOU CAN GET IT AT TARGET OR WHOLE FOODS.
AND REALLY DELICIOUS.
AND SOMETHING FOR THE ADULTS TO KIND OF QUICKLY GRAB AND GO.
YEAH, I'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE ON OUR SHOW.
AND THE NICE THING IS, EVERYBODY'S -
USUALLY THERE'S ONE PERSON WHO IS ON A DIET,
OR THEY DON'T WANT TO REALLY GO IN ON THE HEAVY FOODS -
YEAH!
SO THEY CAN SIT BACK AND SNACK ON THAT.
EXACTLY! AND THIS IS ACTUALLY -
BECAUSE IT'S MADE WITH WHOLE MILK,
IT'S ACTUALLY NOT SUPER DIET FRIENDLY,
BUT IT IS SO DECADENT, AND SO DELICIOUS.
RIGHT. IT'S NOT A SLAB OF RIBS.
EXACTLY. EXACTLY.
OKAY. AND THEN LAST BUT NOT LEAST,
WHAT I'VE DONE HERE IS I HAVE A S'MORES STATION.
SO I THINK LAST YEAR
I ACTUALLY ENDED UP
WITH SOME FLAVORED MARSHMALLOWS.
YES. DO YOU REMEMBER?
I REMEMBER THAT. FLAVORED MARSHMALLOWS.
THE CINNAMON ONES WERE MY FAVORITE.
YEAH. SO THIS YEAR I'VE ACTUALLY CHANGED IT UP, AND THE REASON -
AND I DID ALL DIFFERENT KINDS OF CHOCOLATE FOR THE S'MORES.
SO I HAVE REGULAR CHOCOLATE.
I HAVE REESE'S CUPS. I HAVE THE COOKIES AND CREAM.
AND THEN THIS ONE I FOUND IS LIKE THE GOLDEN ONE.
IT'S CARAMEL COVERED WITH PRETZELS AND NUTS.
AND IT'S HERSHEY'S CHOCOLATE.
SO YOU CAN GET THAT SWEET - EXACTLY.
SWEET SALTINESS. SO REALLY DELICIOUS.
AND IF YOU WANTED TO, YOU CAN LIKE PUT DIFFERENT
GRAHAM CRACKERS WITH DIFFERENT FLAVORS AND WHATNOT.
NOT BAD! RIGHT, THEY'RE NOT BAD, RIGHT?
IT'S ALMOST LIKE A PEANUT BUTTER TOUCH A LITTLE BIT.
SO REALLY FUN, REALLY EASY TO DO.
AND, AGAIN, LIKE JUST, YOU KNOW, TAKING IT,
INSTEAD OF JUST BUYING THE HERSHEY CHOCOLATE,
THE REGULAR KIND, YOU'RE BUYING ALL DIFFERENT KINDS.
I THINK IT JUST KIND OF MIXES IT UP.
WHAT I LIKE SO MUCH ABOUT YOU
IS JUST THE LITTLE SUBTLETIES THAT YOU DO.
LIKE IF YOU LOOK AT THIS PAN WITH THE STICKS,
IT'S ALL LIKE LITTLE MARSHMALLOWS.
AND IT'S THOSE LITTLE TOUCHES THAT YOU DO.
SEE, IT'S ALL LIKE LITTLE MARSHMALLOWS IN THERE.
IT IS SO WONDERFUL, THOUGH.
BUT I ACTUALLY HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION FOR YOU.
YEAH?
WHAT TIME DOES THE PARTY START AT YOUR HOUSE?
USUALLY WE WORK AROUND NAP TIME. TWO O'CLOCK.
YEAH, YOU HAVE LITTLE KIDS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING MEMORIAL DAY FESTIVE AND FUN.
THANKS SO MUCH!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
