Hosting A Dinner Party
The nicest part about hosting a dinner party is when the last few lingering guests offer to help clean up. Being the host, one has to object and usher the guests to their seats, refilling their glasses with wine and making them feel at ease. But secretly, one is thankful and gives in when the guests insist. Such was the case last night.
Teresa prepared a delicious Asian-themed meal, and since my apartment is bigger than hers, we had it there. Of course I didn't put up a fight when two of her friends picked up dishcloths and started scrubbing, but I was helpful and showed them in which cupboard the clean dishes belonged.
