Have a Backup Plan
There’s a slight chance that one wet blanket of a guest might gently suggest that he or she is feeling peckish, so be sure to keep a few boxes of Carr’s Water Crackers in your cabinet. They taste like literally nothing, so they won’t interfere with the sensory masterpiece you’ve been slaving over for an entire hour. If you don’t have time to go out and grab these from the store, just cut up a few pieces of cardboard as the flavor profiles are similar. Either way, serve with a bowl of hand cream on the side––everyone loves a great dip.
