I love the idea of having friends do the work! It makes you a much more sparkling hostess. I am officially done with the dinner parties where by the time friends arrive I am perspiring and irritable due to untold issues with the roast.

Indeed. There is always a way to have people in for dinner – cooking yourself is no more a mandate than piano playing, someone else can always help in order to be sure you are stress free and get to enjoy your company. Well done.

You are a card, SP. Inviting guests over with no intention of providing anything other than the necessary cocktail. A gentlemen should always know his limitations, however, and yours are evidently in the kitchen. You are correct, though, in that all that is really needed is great company, simple arrangements or preparations, and a free spirit shared by all. And, of course, Booze!
