No one
said you
had to bake
There’s no need
to turn your
kitchen into the set
of The Great British
Bake Off (you
did just roast a leg
of lamb). Set out a
thoughtful selection
of store-bought
sweet snacks
like fresh fruit
(pick something
that needs no
silverware, like
Pixie tangerines),
artfully wrapped
chocolate
bars, or colorfully
packaged
cookies from the
grocery store’s
“international”
aisle. If your
friends don’t
appreciate a box
of Pocky, they
probably shouldn’t
be invited anyway.
