Top 10 Tips to Entertaining! 
1. When one hosts
a dinner party, it is essential that all the place mats match, or, at
the very least, that they all come from the same fast-food restaurant.
2. Entertaining
in your backyard? The key to a nice-looking lawn is a good mower. I recommend
one who's muscular and shirtless.
3. My favorite party
game is "Pin the Cleanup on the Guests."
4. Nothing in the
world is quite so entertaining as pouring old milk into new containers
before having guests over.
5. A good host must
always be a STICKLER for attractive food presentation! I always take the
foil COMPLETELY OFF the TV dinner before serving.
6. Getting your
home in tiptop shape for a party can be fun if you think of it as kicking
dust bunny tail!
7. Take short cuts!
I used to offer my guests instant coffee. They kept whining for hot water
to go with it.
8. The best way
to prepare a roast is to make an aluminum foil tent over your roasting
pan. Similarly, the best way to prepare for relatives is to pitch a tent
in the backyard and stay there until they leave.
9. When decorating
for a party, be creative with regular household items. Some people might
just see a moldy shower curtain with torn eyelet's. What do I see? A new
tablecloth.
10. The better you
cook, the more likely your guests will return. Which is why I'm not usually
too hot in the kitchen.
