[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't dinner at 5 or 5:30?  If I had to starve until 5 or 5:30 to finally get a few cheese slices, I'd never come back.  [/quote]

Are you 85? We are hosting multiple houseguests for multiple days. We serve breakfast around 7, lunch around 12, cocktail hour at 5, dinner around 6/6:30. And the kitchen is open all day. Who is starving?![/quote]

No, I am 48, and my relatives throw "holidays" for about 30-75 people, maybe 10 trays of appetizers, a full size bar with 15 stools and booze flowing, oh I forgot the bar has 5-10 more appetizers, fully stocked, real arcade games, poker table going, movie room going, and then yes we have dinner at 5:30, they have catering equipment, some have sternos going for heat, maybe main dish is a few 19 pound turkeys, all homemade sides.  Nobody has to fuss about getting food or serving it.  It's just there everywhere the entire freaking time.  You did say you throw holidays. Booze is not rationed to cocktail hour, food is not saved for a particular time slot.  You are a weirdo.  Even if guests stay for the day before or after the holiday, it's polite to leave out food for people to snack on and drinks mid-afternoon.  I use an island to display chips, nuts, cheeses, crackers.  After 2 days maybe I drop the cheeses.  Who doesn't do that?  Who sets an hour for when drinks and snacks are permitted?  I know some hotels offer a cocktail hour, but that's different.
