Help in the kitchen

20 years ago

When you are preparing a meal and have guests....either a party or say just friends ...maybe even family...do you like having people in the kitchen helping you...you know the Let me help people...I really have a time log and cooking plan in my head and don't really want help...In the scenario above...I have my cooking and prep set up so that by the time guests arrive I don't need any help and truthfully I usually just won't to say get out of my kitchen to the pushy ones who insist on helping...even my girls....Am I the only one that feels this way...

Heck no! I'm the same way. I don't mind if they stand around in the kitchen and talk, but hands off the food!

my friends that come over know my rules. I cook and they can sit and chat with me, they can fix their plates, we are very informal, we eat in the living room. But I cook, and stack the dishes and wash them after the company leave.
Now when I go to thier house, it is different, she wants help, and we wash dishes right after we eat.
Different people have different habits. we just understand each other, we have to, we are always visiting each other!
