How far is too far....in Advance?
Comments (11)Not too early at all! We started with a floor plan Jan 2008, and made many, many changes to it with the builder's designer (a very patient guy!!). Everytime we made changes, we kind of sat with the changes for a few weeks and 'lived' in the house on paper (if that makes sense). We found that having the time helped us greatly to think everything single detail out. We also made selections for fixtures, flooring, cabinets, and got price quotes from various sources. Only then (in November) did we sign a formal contract. With our current home which we also custom built, we signed a contract too quickly and then once the build started, we incurred numerous costly change orders. We did not realize that we had signed on a very low bid for the home, with inadequate allowances for almost everything. This time, we were well armed with what it would actually cost for all items. That way, we could discuss/negotiate with the builder before we signed on a realistic price for the home. So far, (we broke ground in nov.), there have been no plan changes or other finish changes (that would constitute a change order plus upcharge). So, spend the time....if the builder truly wants your business, he should be more than willing to be patient with you. And only after you are 100 % happy with the floor plan and all the various selections should you send it out for bids. Good luck!...See Moremake ahead party puffs - how far ahead?
Comments (4)bbstx, I note that you have no room in your freezer, even though unfilled they freeze nicely. They'll keep in an air tight container for a couple of days, and then, as LindaC mentioned, you can reheat them and they'll crisp back up a bit. I love the darned things, and you've reminded me that I haven't made them for quite a long time. Maybe this weekend, my family really likes them with the cream cheese/cornbed beef filling but I definitely don't want to make them very far in advance and fill them.

Comments (5)The salt in cheese will pull moisture out of the asparagus.....you may not be storing them long enough for that to be an issue....but I think that even 3 or 4 hours would make for some watery asparagus.....and consequently soggy phyllo. I think sandwiching the cheese would work.,....try it....how bad can it be? Linda C...See MoreHow Much Of Dinner Can I Make Ahead?
