  • We're finally gonna host this lovely dinner party still more comfortable in the kind of chatting space than I am in the culinary department.

  • But fingers crossed, I can go from the hostess with the least s to the hostess with the mostest s.

  • Let's do this way.

  • Stop with what we're gonna do today because one of the things that I I think I get wrong is timing.

  • Whenever I have attempted to do a dinner party, I just get really stressed out about how to get time, right?

  • Yeah, I think I like being organized K.

  • So I'll try and dio I mean, we're doing a lot of prep before we lay the table.

  • So all the bulk of the cooking's done.

  • Then we can set the table, do all the nice things, make it look really pretty, and then go back to do the finishing touches and then get dressed, okay.

  • And then people will arrive.

  • How long we've been getting dressed.

  • I know.

  • Miss Better about 4 to 6 minutes.

  • Okay?

  • Just because normally when I'm cooking, I've got food everywhere.
