How to select food for a tea party
Know your budget.
Put the focus on buying quality, not quantity. The tea should be good quality, it's a tea party after all.

Think about what you can save money on; for example, paper napkins don't have to come from a high end retailer. Milk can be from anywhere, as long as it's fresh.

How to plan a class field trip
Talk with the principal of your school.
Ensure that you're able to plan a field trip or if what you want to do is possible. Explain the educational value and the relationship to the curriculum of the grade level (s) that will attend.

How to clean up after a big meal
Prepare storage for leftovers.
After dinner, the first thing you want to do is put food away before it goes bad. There are usually at least some leftovers after a big dinner.

While you're cooking, get out any tupperware, plastic wrap, and other supplies you'll need to store leftovers. Set out tupperware containers, plastic bags, aluminum foil, and plastic wrap somewhere in your kitchen.
