At a dinner party one should eat wisely but not too well, and talk well but not too wisely.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
At parties, I'll start talking and notice everyone is looking at me and feel dumb and say, 'Forget it,' and then start eating things.
I never eat at home. Dinner is my time to be social and catch up with people.
Many people see the chance to eat something for nothing, without the need to cook or wash up, as the great consolation of going out to dinner. But they forget quite how difficult it is to talk to a stranger and eat at the same time.
But I don't sit down at dinner and have clever ideas.
It's important for me who is at the table with me; the moment when everyone speaks to each other and everyone listens. If there's good food, it's much better.
I'm a terrible cook, so I usually eat out with friends.
The most essential part of my day is a proper dinner.
Never argue at the dinner table, for the one who is not hungry always gets the best of the argument.
I consider a good dinner party at our house to be where people drink and eat more than they're meant to. My husband is a really fantastic cook. His mother is Italian and if you walk into our house, we assume you're starving.
Dinner was made for eating, not for talking.
