House Guest Dilemma – Consider A Gourmet Meal Delivered  Posted: March 18, 2006 Ok, so you think you have your orderly life and then the phone call or email arrives. Suddenly you are faced with houseguests! What do you do when you work, have family obligations and need to entertain guests all at the same time! As a resident of Las Vegas, let me tell you houseguests are a regular occurrence. And even if they don’t stay with me, opting instead to savor the delights of the new hotels on the strip, they still want to visit my home for an evening or two and soak in the solar heated pool. Then there’s the whole ordeal of properly providing guests with a memorable gourmet meal. Yes it can be fun to take a trip to the local market, buy food, then spend time prepping all the while engaging in witty banter with your guests as they sip wine and watch you perform food miracles to feed the hungry hordes. Nice imagery….but not reality. This is not like an ad from a magazine…staged and the food prepped by a food stylist. It’s hard work and frankly can be hard on the pocket book as well. Rather than panic...consider the handier and more civilized alternative to spontaneous entertaining, gourmet meals delivered by GourmetStation. If you know guests are coming, just take a few minutes to pull up the web site, make the selections that fit your entertaining style and guests’ preferences. You may select three or four course dinners from Parisian, Tuscan, Cajun or Fusion menus. They even have a wine-pairing guide to help you in the selection of the proper wine for your cuisine selections. My favorite offering is the four course dinners. Just heat the delicious soups on the stovetop in a saucepan. The artisan bread and entrees with side item and sauce finish in the oven in about 30 minutes. And my favorite dessert, cheesecake, requires no preparation and is best served chilled. The entrees even arrive in their own ovenable container. Now you’re on your way to entertaining bliss. Heat, plate and serve a gourmet meal for two or more in about thirty minutes. With help from GourmetStation you may even find a moment to enjoy the experience yourself.
GourmetStation delivered gourmet meals start at $69.99 plus $19.99 shipping with a two-day notice required for deliveries to the entire continental US, Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico.
