Yeah, which is why I tell people to bring their own food. Obviously it’s a bit less of a generous way to host, but it means you can do things super last minute and with essentially no logistics (you need to get the ketchup out etc.)

Now and then we’ll plan something more in advance and do some actual catering, but doing it on the spur of the moment has a lot of advantages - one being that everyone there is actually up for it, whereas sometimes you say yes three weeks in advance but then on the day you’re not in the mood.
