 The Chef's Comments:
 "Well, I finally got up the nerve to have people other than my parents
 over for dinner.  it went well, and really wasn't too hard.  Now I now
 I can repeat the process with Neil's family sometime.  I keep wanting
 to invite them over, but I'm kind of nervous cooking for a group.
 Anyway, here's what we had:" - Lisa
