I like hosting lunches and dinners at home. Never mind the efforts in cooking, preparing desserts and cleaning the house to make it presentable. It is the joy of having good conversations with good friends over good food that makes it worth it.
It is also nice to cap a heavy feast with a good cup of coffee or tea. Even though my husband and I are not avid coffee fans, it might be worth investing on coffee or espresso machines. I definitely need help in whipping up good coffee that our friends will enjoy.
