Make sure they arrive on the right evening!

When you invite people to your dinner party make sure that you choose a good time. People who are at work during the week often don't want to turn out again after a busy day at work. Weekend is the best day for them. However, it may well be that friends you know well would welcome the opportunity to eat at your place and have a night off from their own kitchen. If so, invite them early. Be considerate. They could come soon after work and enjoy a pleasant evening and go home at a reasonable hour ready for work next day.
One last tip. Just make sure everyone writes the date in their diary - and it is the same date. When friends turned up for dinner at our place once I still don't know whose fault it was that they turned up on the wrong day!
I only know that heating a quiche from the fridge and having salad with it and ice cream afterwards wasn't quite the meal I had intended! At least we had a good laugh! Does this only happen to me?
I put a whole lot of stuff about rescuing cooking disasters on our website this week, do take a look - nobody's perfect, are they?
