[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not the culture/food I’m concerned about it’s having them in my house. Does having people over  change the dynamic at all? Not trying to be obtuse but I don’t usually blend my work and personal lives especially because we almost exclusively interact virtually.[/quote] I think it depends on the colleagues, but I think it's really nice! If folks know about the cuisine ahead of time, don't make bland or boring food just to be safe: make what you're planning to make (and ask ahead of time if anyone has dietary restrictions you can accommodate) Give folks a heads-up if you're a shoes-off household, or you don't bring alcohol into your house, or anything else that might not be common in US mainstream.

Are you worried about people knowing too much about your personal life? If you have a very fancy job because of a high-earning spouse so you don't need a raise or promotion? Or a parent living in you're home for whom you're providing care and people will worry that you're distracted?[/quote]

This is helpful, thank you. I’ll make traditional food and include other options that are more mainstream. No concerns about anything they’ll see at my house, just inviting coworkers into my space is new for me. [/quote]
