Make do
All the planning, organizing and preparation in the world won’t keep last-minute disasters from happening. However, says Max, if you’re not overwhelmed you’ll be able to go with the flow when unforeseen problems arise.
“One night I made a Springform cake,” she says. “I remember a bunch of people all drove up and they were coming in for this party. I take the Springform cake out of the fridge and it falls on the floor and I scoop it up and I make it into a trifle in a bowl. And I remember one man coming up to me and he says to me "'That is the best trifle I have ever had. How did you make it?'"
Proof, says Max, that with the right attitude, “You can make do.”
