You know the old question…if you had a dinner party and could invite anyone, who would you invite? For most of us I’m sure our guest lists rotate regularly, but right now, my invitation list would look at lot like this:
- Kristen Chenoweth
- John Stamos
- Connie Britton
- Jack Nicholson
- Rahm Emmanuel
- Kate Middleton (I mean, come on guys)
- Matthew McConaghey
- Bill Murray
With myself and B, all place settings of china are accounted for. I’d probably serve something from Smitten Kitchen and have a lot of wine on hand.
