The soup was cold, and tasted of earth (bought prepared from posh shop), I put the jacket potatoes on in advance to be organised and they all shrivelled, the salad I made was tasteless and the steak I bought was just dreadful. A guest brought dessert and that was the only thing people ate with any enthusiasm. I,ve never been able to cook but I used (prekids) to be able to throw something respectable together even if some of it was store-bought. In my defence, I was trying to get a 10 month down for much of the evening, but even so, it was a pathetic meal.
If anyone has a foolproof dinner party menu for someone who can't cook, let me know!
