A friend of mine was creating her own cookbook to give to her family members. With the recipes, she placed pictures of family gatherings, the dish, the ingredients,  or individual family members. She described one picture to me of her husband sleeping in a chair. I decided to send her this, and I believe it was included in her book!

Recipe

Take one charming host

Add two glasses of wine..

Drink while mingling well with guests....

Pour third glass of wine

Combine with choice of appetizers...

After completely demolishing those,

Fill large plate with hefty portions of entree

Devour and refill, while ingesting another glass of wine, or two, if desired.

Clear table

While digesting inhaled food,
 Serve filling, fattening, dessert

Be social for as long as it takes

Kiss guests goodnight

Retire to favorite chair

Take antacid..

And find sleep while wife cleans up after party.
