Somehow when folks arrive at Ina's house, you just feel as if they're really her friends arriving for brunch and doing the flowers and table settings. It totally works for me too.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284023935180677683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134384403689315687.post-40251550246534575732012-03-15T15:28:04.409-04:002012-03-15T15:28:04.409-04:00That's TBC - zen master (mistress) of entertai...That's TBC - zen master (mistress) of entertaining and dinner parties. It's interesting how although her setups and situations are at least as contrived as TPW, Ina's presentations always ring true - possibly because Ina never pretended to be living an authentic "back to the roots" life in the first place. <br /><br />"I'm Ina Garter, I'm a professional caterer and food personality, I'm using my contacts and cohorts to make things look nice and everyone will have a nicely staged and photographerd good time".

You just have to get your wine in one of her fancy Hampton shops. I think you should scope it out over a glamorous weekend in the Hamptons.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284023935180677683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134384403689315687.post-28330218846135971622012-03-13T14:36:14.901-04:002012-03-13T14:36:14.901-04:00I'm sure that Ina has several sets of silverwa...I'm sure that Ina has several sets of silverware, and probably more than one dishwasher too. <br /><br />I didn't see either of the Mikes (Miguel or Michael) do anything Ina hasn't really done herself before, so I suspect the whole exercise was to promote her friends' businesses. Do you think I can get her to plug my wine?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134384403689315687.post-19320283660245203242012-03-13T12:30:03.974-04:002012-03-13T12:30:03.974-04:00Hey Rach,

When people come to MY house, they're lucky if I don't make them get their own silverware out of the dishwasher. I guess that would be a no-no for Ina.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284023935180677683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134384403689315687.post-1140490181063305362012-03-13T11:41:59.861-04:002012-03-13T11:41:59.861-04:00Good thing she has friends in the decorating busin...Good thing she has friends in the decorating business because that table setting sounded like more work than the brunch itself. Whoa. That almost takes it to Sandra Lee territory! :-D <br /><br />That oil in the granola is a little weird. I'm not a fan of vegetable oil to begin with (unless I need it for the deep fryer). Granola already has enough calories!The Short (dis)Order Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05510572788683143569noreply@blogger.com
