Good Conversation, Good Food, Good Times!
Some of the best gatherings that I have ever had are those when I don’t do a lot of planning. When I just call a few friends up and ask them, “What are you doing tonight?”, the chances of my putting together a group that is a lot of fun to be with goes up dramatically!
Most of the time these get togethers without a lot of planning and just good friends, good food and great conversation are the ones we remember most.
Of course, I often get the question “what can I bring?” My answer is always, “nothing really”. I just want people to relax, not to get stressed.
Maybe you should give spontaneity a try…..
One of my easy menus:
2 Bottles of wine (notice how I started with this?)
2 Baguettes
2 Pounds of grapes (1 red, 1 green)
2 or 3 types of cheeses (Gouda, Gruyeres, Havarti…or whichever you prefer)
½ Pound of deli olives
6 Wine glasses
Candles
You can easily find everything you need either already in your pantry or at your neighborhood store. Enjoy life! Why don’t you give your friends a call right now?

This is always the best way in my opinion! Planning too much just builds expectations. People getting together on the spur of the moment always surprises....
