Re: your tags - Any tips on planning a good dinner party?

The first step is to decide what kind of dinner party you want to have. A dinner party where everybody brings something, potluck-style, and you sit on the floor eating off paper plates is still a dinner party! So too is inviting everybody over to an apartment-warming party so you can show off the fact that you have actual glassware now, like a real adult, or even putting in the table leaf and planning an elaborate menu so your mother will stop talking about your cousin’s dinners.

Deciding the kind of dinner party you’re up for requires stepping back and looking at how much time you have to plan it, how much money you’re willing to spend, and what your space can accommodate.

Time. Planning and executing a dinner party takes a truly ungodly amount of time. It takes time to pull together a guest list, time to collect RSVPs (whether that’s via text, fb group, invitation, etc.), time to plan and then shop for the menu, clean your space (not just the dining room, but also where your guests will sit, and the bathroom they’ll use), prepare your space for guests (set the table, clear away any clutter), and then actually cook the dinner you’ve decided on.

And that’s all before your guests show up. 

The more elaborate the plans (and the more people you’re inviting) the more time you’ll need to prepare. For a casual sit-down dinner party I’d want at least 5 days lead-in time to prep; probably more to give people a chance to block off that night in their schedule. For something more formal, I’d want two or three weeks. 

Money. Another major factor in deciding what kind of dinner party you’ll have is budget. An elaborate home-cooked meal for any size group of people is expensive—an American-style sit-down dinner is typically a salad, a main dish (usually a meat of some kind), and 2-3 side dishes. Ingredients for just that can cost around $200, easy, and without taking into account appetizers, dessert, or drinks.

If you’re working on a budget, hosting a potluck is the easiest way to share out the cost among you and your guests. I’ve also hosted appetizer parties to great success—people love bite-sized stuff, and you can use the same ingredients in several different dishes, mixing in impressive, costly recipes with easy, less expensive ones.

Finally, consider your space. If your table only sits two, or live in a cramped studio apartment, you should take into account those limitations. If people will be sitting on couches you need to consider your capacity and what kind of food that means serving; even if people will be sitting on the floor, you need to consider how you’re going to make that happen. People in any space want to crowd around each other in a vague circle shape, and I’ve definitely lived in apartments where you couldn’t make that circle comfortably.

Additionally, your space also means the stuff in it. If you only have two wine glasses for four people, serving wine is probably not a great idea. (Though, tip from someone who has been refurbishing their apartment, Salvation Army/St. Vincent de Paul/Habitat for Humanity resale stores have crazy amounts of very attractive glassware for extremely cheap.) 

Once you decide what the party will look like, then you can get onto the real business:

PLANNING THE MENU

The best part of a dinner party is, of course, the dinner. Whether you opt to go for something simple, lavish, or quirky, the menu is something of a centerpiece. 

The most important part is to take into account your guests’ needs. The best pasta primavera in the universe is still the wrong meal to serve to a gluten-free crowd. I have a steak marinade that’ll blow your socks off, but the vegetarians and the no-red-meat-thanks people will leave hungry and dissatisfied if that’s all that’s served. 

Still, the typical American formal dinner party menu does allow you to extend in several different directions, and hopefully please as many different palates as you can. For example:

Appetizers—Appetizers are by no means required, and it’s totally normal to have guests over for dinner without offering appetizers beforehand. However, I think this is a fool’s errand, because appetizers are super easy to make (e.g., baby carrots and veggie tip, olives, cheese and crackers) and if people eat them, they’re less hungry for the dinner. Which, depending on how you feel about your main course, might be a pro or a con.

Salad—First course, nowhere near as many people will eat it as you think, but vegetarians and the healthy people will. If you just want something to throw together, most grocery stores now sell bagged salads, complete with toppings and dressing. If you want to prepare something unique, more power to you.

Can also be substituted for soup, though people have stronger feelings about soup and you’re less likely to please everybody. Whereas salads are basically the same dead leaves, with different kinds of sauce.

Main Course—A typical midwestern main course involves chicken or beef of some kind. However, the main course can also be seafood, pasta, or really any kind of food “substantial” enough to be the main fixture of the meal. 

Depending on the size of the party, it may be worth it to make several options; barbecue for one half and grilled chicken for the other. People are always happier with a choice, even if they choose the one that would be have available anyway.

Side dishes—I think sides are the best part of a meal, and really the opportunity to expand the palate of the dinner. If you’re serving steak with a traditional marinade, then the sides are an opportunity to expand into vegetarian or vegan territory; if you’re serving a cayenne-rubbed whitefish, then serving it with mild roasted cauliflower will let people catch their breath.

It’s also an opportunity to make dishes that you know people will like. For example, I made waldorf salad for my mother’s birthday, and she loved that more than the steak—but it was because I knew she liked waldorf salad. Sides are a kind of deliberate gesture to the people you know will enjoy them. And also, pair well with whatever the main is.

Dessert—Much like appetizers, dessert is optional. It is especially optional given the fact that by the time you get to it, people have been eating for at least an hour, and are generally not hungry. Something light, even just ice cream, will usually work work well. And if your showstopper is a dessert, make sure you plan a lighter dinner, so people still have room for the “main event.”

……none of these needs to be homemade, mind you. I actually think that you’ll have the most success if you combine complicated recipes with simple ones; a frozen appetizer and homemade sides, or a pre-made dessert with chicken you baked yourself. That kind of combo allows you to balance your time better, and effectively carry out your dinner plan.

OTHER TIPS

Think about your guest list before sending out the invitations. A dinner party is an opportunity for your guests to talk and get to know each other, but that’s hard if you invite people who can’t, don’t, or won’t get along. When you’re planning your guest list, think about whether this group will gel, who knows who already, and whether you’ve invited talkative people to balance out the quieter ones. (A dinner party of introverts who don’t know each other is going to be awkward.)

Prep your space as much as you can ahead of time. If you do a really thorough cleaning of your space on Thursday for a dinner on Saturday, then Saturday afternoon you’ll just have to do some spot-cleaning and set the table. Buy groceries before the day-of, unless you’re cooking with something like fresh-that-day fish or just-baked bread. Do not just be planning a menu the day of the party, that way lies ruin and madness.

Prep as much of the food as you can ahead of time! Chop all vegetables the night before, make your marinades and casseroles, shred your cheeses, etc. and then store them covered in the fridge. Some things will have to wait—salads shouldn’t be tossed until it’s almost time to serve them; freshly-cut fruit bruises and browns pretty quickly; anything with a lot of milk in it will separate and have to be re-mixed in the morning; unless you’re dealing with a very tough piece of steak, you shouldn’t marinate overnight. However, do as much as you can ahead of time. This also helps cut down on mess the night of, because my next piece of advice is to…

Clean as you cook. I know cooking generates a lot of dirty dishes and pans, especially as you get into more complicated recipes. However, at the ideal dinner party, your guests should arrive to a clean and empty sink, where the only dirty dishes are the ones in the oven. The only way to make this happen is to clean as you cook. I always add in a couple hours’ lead-time so that I can have everything in pans and ready to pop into the oven even as I clean up the chaos.

Something will go wrong, just roll with the punches. You will realize an hour before the party that you forgot to get napkins, or burn a side dish, or awkwardly offer a drink to a friend who doesn’t drink. People may butt heads at the party, and require intervention. (I once went to a dinner party where the table broke. The host was mortified, but I have very fond memories of trying to rescue food and dishes from the wreckage. We sat on the floor afterwards, laughing and eating off paper plates.)Something will go wrong, so roll with the punches and don’t let yourself spiral over some little thing. You can use paper towels as napkins and apologize for any faux pas. Pizza delivery was invented for a reason. At the end of the day, the important part is to give your guests a nice night, some food, and conversation---and those will exist even if you’re sitting on the floor, eating off paper plates because the table broke.

Everything About Dolby Vision: What is it, And How Does It Make Things Better For Your Movies And TV Shows?

  You will access material from Dolby Vision via Blu-ray Discs or video platforms like Netflix and Apple TV.

It's been about a long time since the dispatch of the first TVs with Dolby Vision in Quite a while, however, the organization is just currently observing huge scope use. This is because of two or three key reasons. The first is the accessibility of TVs with Dolby Vision support from more brands at a lot of lower costs, and the second is a developing rundown of accessible substance. Today, it's conceivable to watch numerous motion pictures and TV appears in Dolby Vision without investing an excessive amount of exertion and cash.

Dolby is a natural name, however, we've typically possibly known about it with regards to sound. So what precisely is Dolby Vision? How can it have any kind of effect on what you're viewing? Also, for what reason would it be a good idea for you to ensure your next TV bolsters this standard? Peruse on to discover.

What is Dolby Vision?

To appropriately respond to this inquiry, we have to initially comprehend what HDR video is. While standard unique range video at the shopper level typically has 8 bits for every example, High Dynamic Range (HDR) video is anything with 10 bits or more, and a Higher pinnacle luminance. HDR video makes for better and increasingly exact hues has further blacks and more brilliant whites, and is fundamentally more brilliant all in all.

There are a couple of various configurations for HDR video at the buyer level, including Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG), HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision. The fourth is the most exceptional of the arrangements, supporting a 12-piece shading profundity and a hypothetical greatest brilliance of 10000cd/m2 of luminance. This puts it a stage over the more boundless HDR10+ group. Dolby Vision likewise underpins dynamic metadata when contrasted with HDR10's static metadata, which implies that every scene can be independently upgraded during after creation.

Even though Dolby Vision is a 12-piece position, it is in reverse good with the HDR10 and HDR10+ norms too. So regardless of whether you don't have a Dolby Vision-proficient TV, if it supports HDR10+, you'll have the option to watch Dolby Vision content, however marginally downscaled with regards to hues and brilliance.

Dolby Vision is created by Dolby Laboratories, an American organization that spends significant time in creating innovation for sound and video encoding. The innovation is authorized by various TV makers with nearness in India, including Sony, LG, OnePlus, and Vu, to give some examples. Although Sony and LG's Dolby Vision TVs are a piece of their top line lines, brands like Vu and Kodak have the creativity to have moderate TVs.

How would I watch Dolby Vision content?

There are a variety of different ways of doing that. The more common (and increasingly expensive) way is for Blu Ray covers. Numerous new motion pictures on Blu Ray additionally bolster 4K and Dolby Vision; on the off chance that you have the privilege Blu Ray player, (for example, the Sony UBP-X700) and a Dolby Vision-able TV, you can watch motion pictures in the configuration.

The simpler method to watch Dolby Vision content is through spilling stages that help it. Universally, there are a bunch of stages that help Dolby Vision, including Netflix, Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+. In India, just Netflix and Apple TV let you stream motion pictures and TV appears in the configuration. You do, obviously, additionally need a competent gushing gadget or shrewd TV stage, just as a TV that underpins Dolby Vision.

While Apple TV offers motion pictures and TV shows either to lease or buy or through an Apple TV+ paid membership, Netflix offers its whole inventory in 4K Dolby Vision for Rs. 799 every month in India. The last is a superior offer as we would like to think, as Netflix has a monstrous list of substance in 4K, with a great part of the UHD content likewise accessible in Dolby Vision HDR.

What would I be able to watch in Dolby Vision?

A glance online shows a major rundown of Blu Ray titles that help 4K and Dolby Vision, including mainstream motion pictures, for example, Casino Royale, It, the Matrix set of three, and Pacific Rim: Uprising, to give some examples. On the off chance that you favor the straightforwardness and cost adequacy of gushing, that rundown is significantly bigger.

Apple TV and Netflix have a colossal rundown of motion pictures and TV shows accessible in the organization. Worldwide studios have adjusted to Dolby Vision faster, and a lot of new motion pictures and TV shows are being shot with cameras that catch the information expected to empower Dolby Vision HDR. Studios, for example, Netflix are investing the energy even in after creation, guaranteeing that most new motion pictures and TV shows look on a par with they can on your TV screen.

In case you're especially keen on Indian substance, there's uplifting news on that front. Netflix has pushed appropriation of Dolby Vision in India, and has just created several films in India that are accessible now in the Dolby Vision position; Yeh Ballet was discharged in February, while Guilty has been gushing since March 6.

Dolby Vision does altogether improve the review understanding for the watcher, making for a progressively sensible and clean picture, as indicated by Vijay Venkataraman, Director of Post-Production at Netflix India. He likewise explained that reception has been slower in India due to the status quo done here; with Netflix starting to lead the pack on this, it could imply that more studios produce their motion pictures in the arrangement. Netflix itself will keep on working with Dolby Vision for its forthcoming discharges, as indicated by Venkataraman.

How can it make motion pictures and network shows better?

The center advantage of Dolby Vision is, as we referenced previously, a more extensive shading array. This makes for motion pictures and TV shows that are increasingly precise with regards to hues, more splendid, and all things considered progressively lovely to take a gander at. While a ton relies upon the nature of the TV itself, Dolby Vision is surely assuming a job in improving the sign heading off to the screen.

We've seen Dolby Vision significantly affect motion pictures and TV shows that are outwardly striking; a portion of our preferred shows in the configuration are Our Planet, Narcos: Mexico, and Stranger Things, while films, for example, Triple Frontier, Polar, and Bird Box profit by better hues and splendor too.

India's fairly late passage to the Dolby Vision party implied that well-known shows, for example, Sacred Games passed up the organization for its subsequent season, as did shows like Jamtara and Delhi Crime. In any case, 2020 has just brought two created in-India motion pictures to the stage in the arrangement - Yeh Ballet and Guilty.

"I was delighted to see also Netflix's Dolby Vision for Yeh Ballet," says the Yeh Ballet author and producer, Sooni Taraporevala, a film about two deprived young people who are passionate with expressive dance. "It was simply brilliant to be willing to accept a scene alive on television in great precision as a director. We had selected specific searches for all the spaces appearing in the film, as far as shading, complexity and delicate quality were concerned. Dolby Vision has always helped us keep these looks in incredible detail, right down to the last yield," closes Taraporevala.

Summer Research Reflection - 11th August 2017

I've dedicated my summer to the exploration of my new project. After generating such an extensive collection of research, I've began to realise the direction that I want to take, to better my own personal style within my textile practise.  This will enable me to explore each and every beauty that life has to offer to the best of my ability. Floral Geometry was the starting point for my project. I allowed myself some time to take in the true meaning of this title before I began to process any information. I knew straight away that I wanted to explore something original and unexpected. The world of Floral Design, I feel, is dangerous ground, as you run the risk of being seen a “generic”. This is because Flowers and Botanical study within design, (especially print) Is the most common motif used within the industry. In my interview at the University of Brighton in 2016, one of the tutors mentioned that over 90% of all textile production involves floral imagery.

At First, I thought the title was some what limiting, but soon, I realised that this project could be a profound one. One where I would use my creative skills and immense passion for research to develop a concept that challenged the industry of textile production in relation to floral design. At this point, the research that I have collated is purely photographic or text based. Although I understand observational drawing is important, I felt It was important to be able to explore ideas and concepts before I started drawing for the sake of drawing. The connection to plants and flowers is of course crucial to the project, However This project should subvert their form into something new and exciting. I first began In places that I considered to be obvious starting points. Visiting places such as Fletcher Moss Botanical Gardens - Manchester , and Kew Gardens - London.  I began by Immersing myself in the beauty of flowers and plants, to feel their energy around me, to observe their structures.

This gave me an immense amount of visual imagery to reference. From that point on, I began to look at artists and designers who use plants as inspiration. Some of the references came from artists that I had looked at previously in other projects that sprung to mind, Others I found along the way. Having been a member of the RA for some time due to my connections that I made being part of ATTRACT 2014, I went through every RA magazine that was in my possession to explore the work of artists in the last few years. This provided me with some great alternative references. The V&A magazine that was created to commemorate the Fabric of India Exhibition, allowed me to study the art of asian block printing, and how the asian textile industry has had a profound influence on the history of the textile production.

I Believe, I have collected a huge amount of information ranging from contrasting cultures and time periods. Both my visits to the “Objects Lessons” exhibition at the Manchester Museum and the collection displayed at the whitworth allowed me to extend my primary research, allowing me to collect data from scientists, designers, artists and collectors. The film installation “vertigo sea” (created by John Akomfrah) which explored our relationship with the ocean, was incredibly moving and provided me with much inspiration. The Summer exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts - London allowed me to explore the world of contemporary fine art. I was filled with enthusiasm by observing such a vast array of floral imagery, both abstract and figurative. This was a fantastic way to look at the brief differently, exploring how a range of artists use various medias in which to express their interpretation of Botanical structures. I enjoyed looking at Renaissance Still life, originating from Dutch and Flemish artists, due to my interest in their use of bold, light and dark tones. It creates such a strong contrast between the burst of colours the flowers created, with the very dark settings they were painted in. I found a fascinating photographer called Sharon Core who emulates this aesthetic within modern photography.

The most Profound influence on my project was my trip to Europe. Over a 2 week period, I went to France (Paris) and Italy (Florence and Rome). This was something That I had always wanted to do for myself, as I went travelling alone. But Not only did I want to explore these beautiful cities, I knew that they would have an integral role in providing me with information and inspiration that I would not be able to access by staying at home in the UK. It was one of the best experiences in my life. I have never been flooded with so much artistic beauty. My visit to versailles was a trip that I had anticipated for many years, being an avid lover of the Baroque and Rococo age in which the palace itself lies at the heart of their creation. I was in awe of the intricacy of the designs that decorated each and every inch of this heavenly location. However, what amazed me most was the musical gardens. I loved studying the structure of the gardens both by observing models and illustrations and by walking around the gardens myself. Their was an immense feeling of happiness that radiated from me, and I knew that this feeling must be emulated within my work. The Queens Hamlet designed for Marie Antoinette is one of the most picturesque settings I have ever had the pleasure of exploring. The pastural motifs that she so loved were without a doubt a key feature of the grounds. The collection of carriages at Versailles was also a highlight of my visit, The textile manufacture inside the carriages was some of the finest interiors of transport I have ever seen.  Other locations in Paris such as Opera garner Opera Garnier, The arch de triumph, and especially the louver museum provided me with unprecedented amounts of inspiration and imagery.

In florence, The Ufitizi museum which held some of the greatest works of Botticelli such as “The Birth of Venus” was one of the best highlights. What I was drawn to most was the beautiful, delicate floral motifs that were painted onto the fabric of the models. Additionally, The Pitti Palace (or as my tour guide described it, “The Versailles of Florence) Also provided an immense amount of decadent inspiration, especially due to their collection of costumes and garments. On my return to the UK, this inspired me to begin to look at references from fashion history. I collected all the fashion related books that I owned, with the the Kyoto Institute of Costume books providing me with extensive references to fashion design from history. One element of design that I was incredibly interested in was fashion inspired by Asia, particularly China and japan and the art of Kimono making. The examples that were shown in the Koyoto books originating from the early 1900s have such a beautiful quality, That it is something I would like to show within my work. The grace and beauty that is shown in the way that style of garment hangs on the body, with the corporation of such intricate motifs is something that I am really growing to love. “Balenciaga: shaping fashion” at the V&A and its collection of garments allowed me to explore experimental garment construction and how organic forms can be used to inspire the shaping of the body in cloth. Chatsworth House - “House Style” was also an amazing display of Fashion Design, which incorporated a large collection of garments with floral arrangements at the centre of its motif development. Online Sources also provided me with key reference points, exploring designers and brands such as Rodarte, Guo pei, Chanel, Giambattista Valli, Dolce & Gabbana and Alexander McQueen along side references from Instagram.

I Then realised a connection between the imagery I had seen while in Europe. I had visited a large number of Churches, more then I had ever been to at any point in my life, and realised that a huge amount of the images I had taken incorporated imagery of floral motifs. I began to become fascinated with the link between the world of floral design and The religious realm of the catholic church. I forgot that ornament and extravagance is something that is so important to the aesthetic of the catholic church, and so Is a vital point of reference. When visiting the pantheon in paris, one of the things that strikes me most was in the Catacombs underneath the building. They were decorated with these beautiful wreathes, which at their centre, held glass cases of flowers (obviously imitation) covered with dust. This idea of encapsulation of beauty and preservation is something that interests me very much. Both The Duomo Museum in Florence and The Treasury of The Vatican Had some of the most beautiful garments on display That I Had ever seen. The intricacy of the embroidery which covered these robes in floral brilliance was truly astounding, as was the craftsmanship that went into the construction of the immense buildings that housed them. The Shrines and the ornate interiors, decorated with flowers, gold, religious icons ect. allowed me to see how flowers can connect to the spiritual realm. They can be used to decorate, to honour, to remember, to love, to grieve, to connect with our emotions. It wasn’t until I made this discovery that I realised That I had found something fantastic that wasn't a generic floral print concept.

It has taken me all this research to finally come to the realisation of the concept that I truly want to explore within my work. Having explored every inch of the floral geometry brief, my main source of inspiration would come from something I had seen before I had even started the course. In 2015, The Program VERSAILLES came onto our screens, And It would be the 10th episode which would have a profound impact on my project. Flowers have an immense connection with the spiritual world, and this would be reflected in “Bring The Garden Here” Episode 10, Season 1 of Versailles. In a deeply upsetting scene in which Henriette dies, The last thing she says before she dies is “Can you hear that? The flowers… They are singing…”. This would be the turning point of my research. I immediately thought “What a peculiar thing to say? I wonder if there is any truth within that?” I instantly went into a frenzy of excitement when I researched this concept further. I read a series of articles which explored the connection between music and near death experiences and found that this theme is reported in many accounts of NDE’s. By exploring the relationship between flowers and the catholic church, I realised that there was so much more to be explored, Not just references to the christian religion, But to The relationship between Plants and their spiritual meaning as a whole. From This point onwards, I want to explore the Importance of flowers and our spirituality, And how music and sound can be used to display the intangible.
