No matter what the season, you're bound to be up for fun, frolic and entertainment. Besides that well planned party, you never know when someone is going to drop in or who the family will drag home for dinner. In fact, as you fine tune your talents at making meals an "event," you may be turning down droves of volunteers on a nightly basis. Don't laugh. It happens!
