Shopping list<br />

You planned a dinner party now it is time to shop! My rule of thumb is to write everything down and make a limited about of trips out. If<br />

you and your spouse can divide and conquer that is even better! One can take care of the food and the other drinks and decorations.<br />

Make a list using these categories!<br />
