My poor brother had a dinner party last week, however it ended up being a disaster although he had worked so hard on it.
It wasn’t his fault that the whole thing turned out to be awful though, but the food and the menu and even the wine were all fantastic.
It had nothing to do with that kind of thing at all. The issue that he ended up having was the fact that his cooling system broke down on the morning of the brunch party and he could not get an Heating and a/c corporation to come out and maintain it before the party because it was too short notice. I felt absolutely awful for him because there was absolutely nothing that he could do about it to get it fixed! Neither he nor his girlfriend are handy around the house. I suppose at that point it would have been nice if one of us in the family were a certified heat and a/c worker, however none of us know much about maintenance and utilities, however we don’t know what we are doing, and so now I think that it’s a funny idea to even think about us doing some kind of a maintenance job. I think that my sibling greatly wishes that one of us knew how to do things like that, though! It would have saved his dinner party for him the other evening, probably. The way it was, he ended up having to serve dinner with the windows open because it was so hot in there. That lets flies into the home and flies are gross. The whole thing ended up feeling uncomfortable for us that evening.
