I'm having my boss come over this weekend for dinner any suggestions?!
Answers:
invite me!?!?!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
For a more formal diner atmosphere:
Keep alcohol to a minimum!.
Don't talk shop unless the boss does!.
Find out things you have in common with your boss so that you can carry on a conversation!.
Make the dinner a presentation!. Give a short description of each course or plate, such as salad, entree, and desert!. If you are serving wine or beer with the meal describe how each beverage accentuates the dish as it is served!.
For a backyard BBQ or buffet to go along with a basketball game:
Heavy on the alcohol!. Beer for the guys and wine for the ladies!.
Don't talk about the food other than to ask your boss if he wants a pickle to go with those chips!.
Do break out the picture albums, videos, DVDs, slide shows,cereal boxes, coffee cups, and trophies
Remember, when serving a BBQ plate always slap the sauce on last!. Do not tell them that you got the potato salad from Sam's Club!. Never try to eat a corn on the cob while balancing your plate on your knee with a cold bottle of beer nestled in your crotch with care!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
