What Will Be The Next Bacon? Our Top 5 Trend Predictions

I have a friend who sends thank you cards to her guests after she hosts a fabulous party for them. Now that's graciousness! It actually inspired me to be a better guest and to send thank you cards in the mail to hosts who put a lot of work into a gathering. It guarantees that you'll be invited back too! It's also a wonderful opportunity to tell them how you think highly of them, and more special than an email or text.

I made this with bacon and it was delicious! Disappeared within a few minutes at an Easter brunch party. I cooked the bacon in the microwave first, then sprinkled little pieces on top. Plan on making it again this weekend.

Yeah I don't know about the stand for the boxed wine...it's nothing special, why not prop the box on something pretty? Or decant it?
But I like the look of those meatballs!

This is another example of a chair design that looks cool but would be a bit uncomfortable. Wouldn't your legs and butt start to itch?
