This post is bought to you in collaboration with Corelle.
I might be showing my age here, but back in the early '90s Mr BC (then fiance C) and I would host many dinner parties. We would crank up the Sade, and treat our guests to a pre-dinner cocktail followed by several courses of rich, overly prepared, adventurous courses all matched carefully with wines because we were utter wine snobs. To finish, there would always be chocolates and port, accompanied by an argumentative game of Pictionary into the wee hours of the morning. Ahhhh, good times!
I tell you this because Corelle have released a YouTube series called 'The Tipsy Hostess' and I thought it was an absolute crack up! Tiffany is the hostess with the mostess. It reminded me of several episodes of bad behaviour, (probably from me) but also from one notoriously childish grown up. He complained loudly that his spoon was Not A Proper Soup Spoon, and flounced off to the kitchen to throw the offending spoon into the sink before selecting a new spoon and returning to the table to slurp his soup in huffy indignation. He had selected the spoon we used to feed the cat, a fact neither the fiance or myself offered as we sat there in smug silence and let him enjoy his soup.

| South Beach or Ruby Red? |
This is not sponsored, but Corelle did send me the South Beach dinner set to try, and I absolutely love it. It is fresh and summery, and I don't have to worry about the monkeys breaking it or teenage daughter chipping it as she angrily unloads the dishwasher. Thanks Corelle!
