Etiquette
1. When one hosts a dinner party, it is essential that all the place
mats match, or, at the very least, that they all come from the
same fast-food restaurant.
2. Entertaining in your backyard? The key to a nice-looking lawn
is a good mower. I recommend one who's muscular and shirtless.
3. My favorite party game is "Pin the Cleanup on the Guests."
4. Nothing in the world is quite so entertaining as pouring old milk
into new containers before having guests over.
5. A good host must always be a STICKLER for attractive food
presentation! I always take the foil COMPLETELY OFF the TV
dinner before serving.
6. Getting your home in tiptop shape for a party can be fun if you
think of it as kicking dust bunnies!
7. Take short cuts! I used to offer my guests instant coffee. They
kept whining for hot water to go with it.
8. The best way to prepare a roast is to make an aluminum foil tent
over your roasting pan. Similarly, the best way to prepare for relatives
is to pitch a tent in the backyard and stay there until they leave.
9. When decorating for a party, be creative with regular household
items. Some people might just see a moldy shower curtain with torn
eyelets. What do I see? A new tablecloth.
10. The better you cook, the more likely your guests will return. Which
is why I'm not usually too hot in the kitchen.
