Fucking hell, I pulled it off!
So, last night, I had the UK invasion over for dinner. Bear in mind I live in a studio apartment - i.e., a glorified bedsit (it has everything except a bedroom) and at the last minute, I invited my boyfriend and his daughter. So, 7 of us for dinner.

The sis in law is a chef, and their house is like a showhouse. My place is a functional, but small apartment but I have the added bonus of a massive patio - big enough for a 4 burner bbq and a big patio table and chair set. Boyf ended up buying me 2 new patio chairs for the event.

I did ribeye steak, corn on the cob, baked potatoes and my "famous" garlic mushrooms, along with salami, cheese, crackers, chips (crisps) and french onion dip as appetizers.

I've never had anyone over for dinner except the boyfriend...once.

And I pulled it off and everyone was stuffed and said it was wonderful.

Sorry, I just had to post about it, 'cos it was ace.

@ WBM
Yays! Glad it went swimmingly.
I've never had a dinner party, and would never attempt it.

Just make a huuuuge lasagne.



@Workboresme - being a hostess now and then is very draining but lots of fun.

@BGB....
very draining. But I made my boyfriend do the dishes! Whenever he cooks dinner, I always do them at his place so I figured I'd get my own back.

Congrats WBM
I always get paranoid about hosting events!
