hospitality?
Jun. 13th, 2007 11:11 pmI've been thinking....
If I want to have people over more often, I'm going to need to be a better hostess.
I'm not talking "Good Housekeeping" cover spotless and caviar served on matching china, but something at least a step up from my current standard "gee, I have some soda and a bag of stale Oreos somewhere....wanna order takeout?" :P
So I put it to y'all: what's good to have on hand by way of munchies/drinks? When's the clutter ok for just us but out of hand for company? What does one do with the cats (obviously, clean/put in bedroom for allergic guests, but what about the rest of the time)?
Suggestions welcome - I've got I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence in transit but the library doesn't have it yet.
