Dinner.

You know you have great guests when you don't feel that bad even though you've spilt a whole bag of cous cous on the kitchen counter, you spill the salad dressing in the fridge (and cut your finger on the food processor blade whilst making a new one), have to reuse the starter plate/bowl thingies because you hadn't thought through your entire "menu" (laksa doesn't go on plates, obviously) and forget to serve an entire roast chicken (which on hindsight doesn't go with laksa anyway). Oh and run out of time to put a proper glaze onto the cheesecake so it basically looks like chocolate gloop on biscuit crumbs.

And I've discovered that a vacuum cleaner can be very useful indeed.
