It must be as old as the hills, but is as pleasant as always, to invite neighbors for dinner in order to see visiting relatives. Last evening Robbie and Joyce came for dinner so the four of us could renew acquaintance and enjoy time together. It was worth every once of effort on Ken and my part. We six must be in a long line of successful dinner parties held in the Hill Country.
The Top House is an easy place to entertain because everyone is together all the time so the conversations continue even though the food is being cooked or the table cleared. No one is left out. Except we forgot to cook the broccoli. After eating the salad, I brought the food to the table, only to discover that the vegetable was raw. Everyone laughed. I just added another course. While to broccoli was cooking, we ate wild rice and pork loin and sausage, then enjoyed broccoli as a separate course. It actually tasted good on it's own!!
I hear of other societies who do not entertain each other in their homes, but they are missing a treat.
