If I could make my own bumper sticker for my car for this campaign season it would say, “ Bring Back the Dinner Party”. What happened to supper clubs where people actually cooked? It is fun.
Restaurants are so loud. If you have over six people forget it you can’t hear anything at the other end of the table. And if you are me you always think “ what are they laughing about down there” and “ please lord make this woman stop talking about her dogs knee surgery and how brilliant her kids are”
Guess what, I bet your dining room or kitchen table for that matter is perfect and would allow you to hear the funny stuff so you don’t get stuck in “Conversation Jail” with the Dud couple. If you haven’t entertained in a while ask yourself why not? It isn’t that hard.
You really get to know people, you can laugh super loud if you want and there is no waiter that is going to give you the stink eye if you don’t tip enough. You NEVER have to wait for drinks. What? Your guests are out of wine? Just pour some more. Done.
