Check out WMF. You can try it at any high-end department store, and the sets (with serving pieces!) are even cheaper online.

Depending on what your guests view as kosher, they might not eat anything from your kitchen, so that's worth considering.

I'd make most with the panchetta and milk, and then make the kosher ones using more egg for binding and water/broth instead of milk. I would worry about the chicken drying without the milk, so you might even consider doing beef for the kosher ones, which is also cheaper.

Anything with a water bath, like custards or pots de creme.

@scoot. The seating arrangement will look even worse when that fur is covered in jelly and chocolate syrup.

Oh, having been through this with a toddler, it was no big deal with bottled juice, raisins, bananas, peanut butter, celery (lasted fine a few days), crackers, some muffins I made the day before so the oven heat was long gone, and lots of cookies. The toddler thought the food and the dress code were improvements.

O.M.G. I think you just fixed my "appliance garage" problem. That's gorgeous.

Wow, strong opinions.

I have two friends who have developed gluten allergies in their late 20s during this gluten trend. I always buy a bag of tortilla chips and some canned salsa with a gluten free label.

I don't understand how you managed 28 years eating all foods you are now "allergic" to. I mean, I saw you down a 12 pack of cheap beer better than me. I find it irritating, and yes, it has affected my invites.

I have a couple of large plastic "Lock and Locks." They won't come open, but I would imagine anything plastic would break with 5+ lbs onto tile.

Tale as old time. I got worse and worse for us as he got busier and more stressful responsibility, and I was down to something like 10% of the household income and working full time.

But, making more money let us get a maid (YAY!) who saved our marriage. You'd be surprised how many of your neighbor ladies would love a few bucks to clean your house. You might even be able to work out a swap arrangement for cooking.

Colored tile. Nobody wants to buy some nasty old plexiglassed wallpaper. Just put in some tile. You're going to have to deal with this when you sell anyway, so why not just tile now?

At least your buyer will know how to get rid of (or tile over) neon pink tile. They won't have any idea how to chisel off lacquered your wallpaper.
