HOW TO HOST A SUCCESSFUL DINNER PARTY
by Tiffany
Chapter 1:
Cook everything from scratch, including making chicken stock from actual chickens. This takes almost 3 days.
Chapter 2:
Spend an hour setting the table correctly, as well as using the wedding china that never, ever gets used. Arrange fresh flowers for the centerpiece.
Chapter 3:
Pick out fine wines to go with each course.
Chapter 4:
The Guests arrive!
Chapter 5:
Everyone gets completely drunk – including me – and I forget about things going in and coming out of the oven.
Chapter 6:
Food not as good as is should be, but everyone is drunk and no one cares.
Chapter 7:
Guests don’t leave until 2am.
BEST DINNER PARTY EVER.

Martha Stewart better be checkin’ her rear view mirror

My real point is that we drank so much that I could have served Chef-Boy-Ar-Dee and no one would have been the wiser!
The only reason Martha Stewart should worry is if I challenge her to a drinking contest at the local bar.

Wow, Tiff! That is so impressive. Table looks so gorgeous. Martha Stewart ain’t got shit on you, sister.

I agree that it was the best dinner party ever. I think it was the extra touch of garlic on the croutons in the salad that did it for me, or was it my 15th glass of wine?
Tiff: the hostess with the mostest! Great time!

I have a recipe for limoncello and strawberry ice-cream, from the chef Gennaro Contaldo. It is bloody delicious – I made it for a dinner party a couple of months ago. Email me if you want it and I’ll dig it out.
