Insider note: this is total do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do advice, since as any regular reader knows, I have a tendency to go MASSIVELY overboard in preparing for and conducting dinner parties. I'm aware of this. I know that normal people don't have to make a rule about not letting your number of dishes exceed the number of people present. The first step is admitting you have a problem, which is why my Twitter profile fully discloses that I'm a "dinner party overdoer from way back."
But! I've also been through enough of them (dinner parties, that is) that I know what leads to them going horribly wrong, and what to do to minimize the chances of that horribleness.
So, without further ado: I'm in Tufts Magazine (go Jumbos!) this month talking about my practical approach to tackling dinner party prep, whether it's your first or hundred-and-first time at the rodeo.
