I serve food throughout the evening, including the dinner, and then cold cuts, so people eat about three times during the party.

I like to cook and I enjoy hosting the parties. There is that saying of who you are with on New Year's Eve is who you are going to be with for the rest of the year, or something like that. These are the people we would want to be with.

Kat didn't want to cook this evening, and this is terribly good food.

This has been a most wonderful evening. Gertrude has said things tonight it will take her 10 years to understand.

First year we did it, there were about 25 people and new people have been added every year.

We needed to fix this. There's no reason we should be serving food when there's rats and roaches.
