I worked so many hours a week we never really learned how to socialize so need some suggestions.

What should we stock to serve for drinks if we are going to have people by.
Wine? Beer? vodka and OJ?
Just say come for wine and beer and snacks. Get some meatballs from the freezer case and heat a jar of grape jelly with a jar of chili sauce and heat it with the meatballs. Get some crackers and brie and you are in business.

Brownies wouldn't hurt. Don't forget pop...errr soda.
