Lunchtime Poll: Dinner for Eight



It’s noon EST, when many left coasters are furtively eating Ramen noodles at their desks.  We at Persephone want to add some spice to your lunch hour, so we’re introducing the Lunch time poll.  Details after the cut.

You’re hosting a dinner party for seven guests and yourself.  The guests can be alive or dead.  Who do you invite and why?  Extra credit for telling us what you’d serve.

    It’s not lunchtime anymore, but I’m participating now. I would invite both of my parents and my sister, my boyfriend, and three of my close friends (the ones who live in town). I choose these people because they’re the ones I would be least intimidated to cook for. Also the ones I’m fairly sure would come. I have a hostessing inferiority complex. I’d make baked mac and cheese, ideally, because it’s easy and good, but maybe I’d go with meat and potatoes instead, because my boyfriend’s gluten intolerant. Ha.

        Aw, hush, that was really sweet, and there’s never a bad time for mac and cheese. Never.
