Bubbly Party
Anita and Cameron over at Married…With Dinner had a neat idea for a party: We’re having a few friends over for cocktails and canapés tomorrow night, and one of the ways we’re planning to keep things simple is by setting up a do-it-yourself Champagne bar. We’ll put a case of bubbly on ice, line up…
