P.P.S. *How did your friend find a nice way to decline?

She phoned back to check the date and then said that she didn't realize that
she as sorry but could not make it because her husband was throwing a party
for her that night. And that was true, though the decision for their party was
made later. *It seems that chef's wife then called another neighbour and asked
her to bring the things that she had earlier asked our friend to bring. More
nerve than a tooth ache eh.

Seriously obnoxious folks. I'd write them off for good unless they
were relatives or I had an important business relationshit with them.

Heh, I think I'd rather have dinner with a dentist than that particular
chef or chef's wife!

I agree with the sentiment, but I'd say that it would be a very odd
dentist who would subject his/her dinner guests to the dentist's drill
at a dinner party.
