What happened to the dinner party? Did we get too busy? Is it too much work? Too Expensive? Remember the 90's? I had the pleasure of being invited to share the most amazing meals on beautifully set tables and enjoyed every minute. I think it is worth every discomfort to host a dinner party. I have learned so much sitting around the dinner table eating and drinking and hearing where other people have been and what or who they have done....I think you can still host an exceptional dinner party with out spending a lot of money. But it does take time. Oh we still host and go to dinner parties, but certainly not as many. Regardless of your set up, I think we should all host dinner parties. What else are we doing with our family china? I suppose we could do potlucks. My observation about potlucks is just this: "How many pasta salads can you eat?" In the 90's we all had a different take on the pasta salad, but essentially it was the samed damn pasta salad. Eating is a joy. But eating with others is delightful.

Before Andrew and I leave (aka before Andrew leaves), you should come over to my messy, unfinished house and we will cook you dinner. Role reversal! I should probably get the dining room table from you first (if you're still willing to give it up?), though so we have somewhere to sit! Seriously though, it will not even partially compare to your awesome homeplate dinners.
