Housewarming postmortem

[msmemory_archive]

It was great! We had about 70 people through at various points in the day, and they all seemed to have fun (even Greg, whose allergies bloomed in response to the pillowfight the kids had).

Notes for next time:
Second trash receptacle near the buffet
Bin or bag for recyclables (my conscience is twinging that we just tossed the plastic goods)
LOTS MORE beverages
More milk/cream for coffee
Um, buy beer? (d'oh!) and open more of the gift wines
Keep better track of gifts (anybody want to own up to bringing either of the Merlots, the Cooks' bubbly, or the Domesday mead?)

Recycling

I was part of an LJ discussion about that episode a while back. Some year I'll manage to watch it.

However, my town wants all plastic & glass & metal in the recycling, no matter what it has touched, and if the trash people see recyclable stuff in the regular trash, they can't take it. They say it should be "rinsed" though. So what's the story on the 'contact with food?'
