[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Add your special touch to make it special.  If it is doing dishes for three days afterward, then go for it.  Some of us like to actually talk to guests.  [/quote]

So do I! That's why I do a lot of prep work before guests even arrive (Pioneer Woman has a great recipe for mashed potatoes that can be made the day before), take people up on offers to help (yes, please bring a pie!), set the table the night before (we go out for pizza with overnight guests), am a very clean-as-I-go cook, and let people help with clear-up and cleaning. Working together, it's done in just two hours.

Who takes three days to do dishes? How odd.[/quote]

If I were hosting 25+ people for Thanksgiving, with fine china (which we don't have) and silver (ditto) and crystal (ditto), it would take us three days to do the dishes. We have one kitchen sink and four dishwashers: me, my partner, and our two children. Or I suppose one of us could use the kitchen sink, and the other three could use the powder room sink, the bathroom sink, and the bathtub.[/quote]
