Arranging The Buffet Supper



I've thrown a few parties, and have a few things to say about this 1946 instructional video. First, that table looks too small for a buffet. And putting that chair against the wall instead of in the room where your party will be eating is a mistake. If a child reaches adulthood without knowing how to put a tablecloth on the table, you've neglected part of your job. You don't put a desert out on the table until after everyone has filled their plate, or else the kids will eat nothing but desert. But ultimately, I was appalled at the amount of food. If that's all you have, why not just eat at the table? She has only eight salads, so all the people would fit. 

The last party I threw (in April) was out on the porch, because it's bigger than the rooms inside. We had to have two tables for all the food. A good time was had by all. Rifftrax just released their version of this, but I prefer the original.
