organize 5 Tips for a dinner party without disaster
1. Keep away Sunday, Monday and Tuesday calendar
Brendan Francis Newnam "is ruined On Sunday, I mean, just until Monday, so it's already the second half of Sunday already concerned about the work of the next day, so does not have the attention of people ... you will to relax in a position not.
And then to do "on Monday things I should have done on Sunday, so this is not a night okay. And on Tuesday, are just plain stupid as can be honest, at this Tuesday night? Wednesday received the day lull now, people start need help. they dug into their emails. Types of know-how falling into the week. And that's when we say that you can start the party. "
2. Clean your bathroom
Rico Gagliano. "If you can clean a room, and it's all the time you have to do the bathroom, and that has at least get most of your due diligence, the straw in the sink, getting-Sun were made circular the earth and are easy nice and clean, because it is one of the few places -. probably the only place in your home - that people, at some point, but with a light every corner illuminated. ensure that this is not a horror movie. "
Cooked for at least 51 percent of the food - 3. Make
BFN "We say that 51 percent of the food should be cooked at home, because the dinner party is a reflection of you What makes it special people come home and see his books ... can be at home, and food , the. to represent, however, we allow 49 percent. "
4. Do not let the music for a freely
BFN "This is a musical dictatorship, and it's you or if you have a trusted friend and respect, you can put the iPhone, discs or music used someone .... Otherwise you will listen to Sly for free to all full. and the jewel of the family of one minute only vibrates in it, and the next thing you know, play power plant, which is very incoherent, and then you really this feeding frenzy around the stereo with people, songs that really undermine the conversation and the wants to get the center of your dinner "play kind of friendly atmosphere and brilliance.
5. Do - telephone set time (if necessary)
, RG: "The mobile phone is the bane of existence of the modern dinner a number made, we have crossed a calendar of things that dinner party - challenges to the domain dinner party - said and honest, we are concerned that it is not able to overcome the advent of mobile phones that you stream videos Kitty on the table ".
BFN "Our proposal is mobile, look, this is the reality: People have responsibilities that only records we have a leadership that erratic things at all times of the day and night, so we recommend that you kill cell phone for most. , But it will be natural pauses in conversation, or perhaps drink pass at dinner that allow people almost all at once, like, "Hey, I'll check my phone. "We all do both, then go from there."
Book Excerpt: 'Lunch Is Hell'
Brendan Francis Newnam and Rico Gagliano
It is the eternal question, the label of the food: Assuming everyone had an equal share of the food at the table, which is the last remaining piece of a flat community service?
In our experience, usually this puzzle is solved by one of three methods, all cripples.
a) PASSIVITY MUTUAL: Nobody takes me. The chicken wings chip last dumpling Nacho or a slice of pizza sitting there until resolution - the piece sacrifice symbolically all together they simply can not, in fact, greedy barbarians to make sure are.
These each guest cut a small part of the last piece of food until a fragment is still so small that it is subject to the laws of quantum physics: b) INFINITE DIVISION (also known as "half-hippie" known). This is ridiculous and destructive for both sides: Instead of allowing a single client to obtain a satisfactory end, quietly working together the group to ensure that each gets deep satisfaction. And when it is finished, there is still sitting there a small piece of food - there.
c) ALPHA Intervention: A daringly guest "alpha," he says or she has the last piece. , , that is, "as long as no one wants it." imply For someone who now justify partly why unceremoniously earn more than anyone else. Therefore, the Alfa is not only permitted, but encouraged by the group to take the room. Although this seems a good result - the piece is completely consumed and get rid of the group of anxiety - the Alfa remains a selfish feeling, and crushed each left feeling a others.
We therefore support a fourth best solution: the host, and decides to announce that the final piece should be granted. Here are some possible reasons to support your decision.
1. Distinguished Service Award
One of his guests three dozen clams for turkey stuffing tedious Volunteered Chipping. Or talk to your neighbors at the top of the call in a noise complaint. Or they were not able to speak with the neighbors to call noise complaint but to bribe by the police when they arise. To do this, he said guest deserves the last piece.
2nd prize cards
A guest at the table a child was born recently, a birthday is celebrated, it has a promotion or had sex with someone - agreements together - an extremely enviable person who had sexual relations. As a reward card, which took the last piece.
3. The prize "That was classic"
Maybe a guest as perhaps stumbled their contribution to food, a white truffle worth $ 10 000. Or on the way to the steps of his house, hit his head on the railing and came to his door with a bleeding head injury exude yet an hour later. Either way, carrying something spectacular that no one will be the soon forgotten. So that guests deserve the final piece and, if necessary, a trip to the emergency room.
4. Price bottomless stomach
Usually a person at a dinner party is known to strike amounts of food against nature quickly and proud. This person usually exasperating thin and very comfortable with his voracious reputation. This person the title of the last part output makes everyone happy: get the food and other teases him gently - bring the only socially acceptable way their jealousy of his supernatural genetics expressed.
5. The mathematical method
Alternatively, target, data-based method for the recipient of the last piece of determining each guest simply a number "X" by the formula assigning
X = A + B²- (0 + Z) -Q²
in which
A = the number of bottles of wine to customer
B = the number of days before the party guest finally deigned RSVP
= 0 is the time when the first guests arrived at the party
later comes Z = the number of minutes the guest at the party
Q = the number of times be the guest / her smartphone checks at dinner.
The guest largest number is assigned to the end.
Example:
Sholanda there 7 days a invitation brought two bottles of wine, was shown for the first time and turned on the phone immediately. We represent mathematically it like this:
7²- 2 + (0 + 0) = 51 -0²
Meanwhile Jedediah shows no RSVP'ing at all, he forgot to bring wine, it came 68 minutes after Sholanda and sent ten texts before dessert was even served. Expressed in figures as follows:
0²- 0 + (0 + 68) 168 = negative -10²
Clearly, in this scenario, Sholanda has the final piece. Jedediah gets a punch in the mouth.
