It never fails. You create a stunning tablescape a la Sandra Lee in the dining room. You set out a well-stocked bar in the hallway between the dining room and the living room. You even put plates of delicious snacks on the coffee table in the living room. Your dinner party is out there, and yet...
Every one of your guests ends up standing around the kitchen while you are still waiting for the last course to come out of the oven, holding their plates, clutching their cocktails, having the time of their lives. In the kitchen.
Why? Why, unappreciative-of-all-your-entertaining-efforts guests, why?!?!
A book entitled The Warmest Room in the House might have the answer. It studies the evolution of the kitchen over decades through to the 20th century. The book is available from Amazon for $16.47.

If you create a 'tablescape' like Scamdra Lee, you shouldn't have people set foot into your house. Spend your money on quality food, not crap from Joann's.
Love your anti-Sandra quips :-)
