Housewives, it is time to take advantage of the “time-savers” for this Christmas season

Dec 25, 2017 News

To the hardworking housewives, Kaieteur News is very much aware that this time of the season, you will be required to do almost 100 tasks at once. You will have to be supermom, the super-gift shopper, the ultimate chef and a pleasant host simultaneously. Mastering this art does not come easy. But who says you can’t spice the season up this year while saving time?
Fortunately for you, we have a few tricks that may very well help you to make the preparation for this Christmas season a less stressful time of the year thereby allowing you more of an opportunity to truly relish the joys of this occasion.
For the Christmas season, bringing the best flavours to your specialties is not something you compromise on. As such, condiments play a very important role in your most prized recipes. In this regard, local manufacturing company, UMAMI Products offers a variety of condiments which are richly brewed with the best and freshest grown crops in Guyana. And guess what? Their prices are affordable and their condiments are sure to add a magic touch that will leave your family members and guests mesmerized by your new but interesting twists to their favourite Christmas dishes. Additionally, if you are looking to spice the season up a bit with some homemade cocktails, then UMAMI’s extremely affordable cocktail mixtures will surly turn heads at the table and leave your relatives and friends dying for more. With UMAMI, the only worry will be your addicted guests and family.
Significantly, it is important to remember that everything doesn’t have to be homemade. In this regard, we introduce you to one of Guyana’s most treasured heavens which is tucked away in one of Georgetown’s old colonial style buildings at 133 Church Street. It is the Coffee Bean otherwise known to locals as breakfast heaven.
For the Christmas season, Coffee Bean is well known for offering delectable dishes like honey-glazed ham, eggnog and gingerbread.
The entity has an established reputation for producing mouth-watering dishes that ooze a homely feeling which Christmas foods need to bring to every tummy.
Furthermore, it might seem early to think about Christmas dinner, but a surprising number of dishes can be made ahead of time. Baked sweet potatoes, garlic pork and stuffing can all be cooked and frozen, then defrosted and reheated in the oven on the day itself. As for your favourite roasted meats– it actually tastes much better if you make it a few days before, and leave it in the fridge for the flavours to deepen.
Additionally, if you never quite cracked the perfect turkey, Kaieteur News is delighted to inform you that many chefs have a secret weapon in this regard–“butter muslin”. It is available cheaply from kitchen shops. Just soak the material in a bowl of melted butter, then drape it over the turkey before popping it in the oven. Moist meat and crunchy skin will be your reward.
During this time of the year, a drunken relative or guest is no uncommon site. Should your house guest end up spending the night, and awakens with a terrible hangover, be sure to have a bottle of sprite nearby.
Chinese researchers tested 57 drinks, from herbal tea to milk, and found that the most successful in abating hangover symptoms was Sprite.
It is important for you to bear in mind that there is power in doing a few things well – Instead of trying to do everything and ending up depressed about how it all turns out, focus your energy on a couple of things that are the most important to you. You may be tempted to extravagantly decorate every room in your house, but if you don’t have the time or energy, focus on one room, like a living or family room. If your entire house is beautiful but you have to go see a therapist when it’s all over, the romantic mystique will be lost.
Additionally, don’t commit to do too many things. One or two Christmas parties during the holiday season will make you get all tingly in that “It’s a Wonderful Life” kind of way. Two or three parties a week may send you over the edge, especially if you have children.
