I’m doing a themed dinner - thoughts?

Thank you for your kind words @GinnyPNW - I really love your story!
Part of my enjoyment when I cook is the simple fact that I get to watch the most beautiful satisfaction on the face of my guests. It is how and why I was able to spend an entire career as a chef.
The grind, the toil, missing out on important milestone moments in the life of loved ones - somehow I accepted all that simply because I just love making people happy and laugh and enjoying themselves through my food.
I plan to have as much as possible pre-prepared as I can, so to spend time with everyone invited.

Good deal! And, I should mention that the "host" in my story is not and has never been a professional chef...so, probably not a apples to apples story!
