How do you feel about people who come in and just take over your kitchen? That’s the burning question that starts off our conversation and reveals Ruth’s territorial tendencies. From there, we morph into the etiquette of pot luck dinners. And then we get into the whole subject of dinner parties. What is it, exactly that makes a good one? The truth is, we are deeply divided on that subject. We can’t even agree on the timing of the cooking or how to set the table. But one thing is for sure, by the time this conversation is over. you will know exactly whose house you would rather be invited to. So pull up a chair and join us for a really delicious conversation.And if you like what you hear, join us at threeingredients.substack.com where we have bonus episodes and lots of extra material.
