Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • oven and stovetop
  • microwave
  • car
  • currency
Step1
First off, plan on what genre of cuisine you want to serve. Italian, Greek, Mexican, Indian ? It's up to you, just be consistent and keep the courses within the theme you've chosen. For example, you may not want to serve queso as an appetizer to serve before your main entree of beef bourguignon. Bleh!

Pour yourself a glass of wine, relax, and wait for your guests to arrive. Enjoy your food and company; they'll never know your secret unless you tell them!
