Adults Only

It seemed like the natural thing to do. I had a new apartment—and, I assumed, a fabulous (Uptown livin,’ Downtown location) New York City life— replete with pots, pans, knives, gas stovetop (gas!) and a lovely little patio. A dinner party would solidify my leap into adulthood. The dinner—my very first, all-important, real gathering of people over the age of 21—would bring me one step closer to becoming a grand hostess (think CZ Guest, Palm Beach).

I got right down to business: the guest list. Right, I had one friend in the tri-state area…

(running out to buy fresh herbs and prosciutto—back in a bit!)
