Green chiles, Panko bread crumbs, brown sugar, etc. You know what I'm talking about. Too bad it's all so damn heavy! ;)Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836394671525240199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556494314801577420.post-88284236787472178352016-03-25T12:33:24.077-07:002016-03-25T12:33:24.077-07:00Thank you, Rachel!

I am always running around like a crazy lady. One tip I have is to figure out what can be prepared ahead of time and actually make it ahead of time ;) Ahh, enchilada sauce from scratch! I know what that's like. I even made corn tortillas from a bag of Maseca that I bought at Jemoli for like 18 CHF!! (Here it costs around $3!!)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053020814428192067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556494314801577420.post-15243205933399090642016-03-23T10:32:14.457-07:002016-03-23T10:32:14.457-07:00I absolutely LOVE this post, Lindsey.

Thanks for the laugh and the inspiration for what appears to be the best luncheon strategy ever. P.S. That rice cake on the table!

Speaking of we...Sprüngli cakes... how I miss those! Speaking of well-prepared Swiss meals, we were once invited to brunch at a Swiss friend's house. She actually made Zopf from scratch. It was still warm when we sat down to eat. And we showed up at their place right on time. Of course, it helps that we planned our arrival with the ZVV website. <br />As for entertaining, I recently hosted a brunch where I actually had the table set before our guests arrived, but they ended up being 20 minutes late.

Table laid, cooking done, possible appetisers, bubbles. The only major difference is the dessert- I wish that was a thing here, but I guess in a country with no indigenous patisserie heritage and a thing for home baking it will never be! I love lunch with friends or family, especially now we have S. She is almost universally in a better mood at lunch than dinner too!<br /><br />Also, love the fails.
