Dessert First

No one will ever mistake me for Martha Stewart or her wannabes. I ought to know how to be one, because being a food writer means keeping up with food and lifestyle magazines. But I’ve learned to stick to the food and restaurant stories. When I get to the “entertaining” ones, I just get depressed.
It’s not that I don’t like to have friends over for dinner; we do it all the time. But I can’t honestly say I’ve ever thrown a true dinner party.
