I appear to have psychic dinner guests.

I've recently been going through a spate of inviting people round to dinner, since this actually motivates me to cook interesting food (spending a lot of effort cooking for myself makes me feel as if I'm wasting a lot of my valuable time, but spending a lot of effort cooking for someone else makes me feel as if I'm working to make a friend happy).

Occasionally, something unexpected comes up and a guest is unfortunately forced to cancel. Bummer, but these things happen.

Occasionally, I commit one or more unexpected acts of complete incompetence in the kitchen and the meal comes out only barely edible.

So far, my dinner guests' cancellations have matched up 100% with me completely botching up the meal I'd intended to cook for them, so as yet I have never been forced to inflict the results of a miscook on a guest of mine. I'm a little disturbed by this…
