Ever had a dinner party disaster?

Our public radio show The Dinner Party Download deals with all aspects of social get-togethers from food and cocktails to the news and culture that's sure to come up in conversation. But we're looking for something a little different for this story.

What's your "Dinner Party Disaster"?

Spill a glass of merlot on your boss's snow white bijon frise? Congratulate your cousin on her "pregnancy"? Blow up the kitchen with your experimental souffle? We've all been in train wreck situations...here's to hoping that you'll get a little catharsis - or a big laugh - out of sharing your story. Strength in numbers!

Okay, time to spill it. What's your dinner party disaster story? We won't judge. (If you can, please set the scene: time/place/witnesses...)

Was there any fall-out from the situation - immediately or farther down the road?

Whew! I hope that wasn't too painful. Would you be okay with us publishing your insights on the web and attributing them to you? (Your comments may be edited for length or clarity.)
