13 things I need to do for the dinner party
1. plan the menu -
2. buy the food (where you can get Hungarian sweet paprika? - goulash... new recipe, hearty for a winter evening!)
3 buy the booze- hmmm merlot? shiraz? always pinot grigio... Caramel Irish Creme?
4 clean the powder room that spousal unit uses as personal bathroom
5 check the supplies - have everything else? maple syrup for the coffee maple mousse
6. confirm with the Rebel on serving times and hourly wage for helping out
7. ask Tweeny if she wishes to help (AS IF!)
8. ensure the linens are ironed and crisp (we don't use paper napkins in this house ...ever!)
9. ensure the few silver pieces are polished - check the salad bowl that has the silver rim
10. do the time line - project management skills are a great competency for dinner parties
11. check with colleague - who is bringing the out of towners?
12. ok ok... invite the spouse
13. sit back relax and enjoy the party
