You know, whenever on television the hostess turns to a little cart full of glasses and bottles and mysteriously always full ice buckets, I'm jealous. I never have anything to offer a guest except sugar-free grape kool-ade, which tends to make them decline nervously and slowly back away.

At the very least, I should have pristine, unopened bottles of water.

Or, you know, some non-plastic glasses to offer a guest tap water in?
