For a yummy dinner outside in the back yard, a kind of dinner party with some of the neighbors? Any ideas?
The whole purpose is to maintian good relations with the neighbors and to allay any fears they might have about our being abnormal, which we are not.
And the real question is, the world is rather different from what I expected, any ideas? I have not yet mentioned this to my wife (bacause she would started reading me stuff), so please be subtle with your answers. Yet I desire cogent answers. Anyone?

The world is different than you expected? I have to ask, from whence did you come and how long have you been here? Misuse of common items are usually the ear mark of the aliens living amongst us. Have the neighbors seen your wife, say, painting her fingernails with white out? Dead give away.
Most of us indigenous denizens are omnivorous, but some are herbavors, so, if your neighbors are really thinking, "Don't the new neighbors seem a little strange? I mean, he was hauling the lawn trimmings into the house.", making a good impression with a fabulous backyard soire is just the ticket.
Something for every one. A variety of beverages (NOT rubbing alcohol or 3 in 1) but rather some soft drinks, beer or soda, and a time for some cocktails. Have plenty of fruits and veggies, salads and, for the entree, steak and lobster with parisian potatoes and asparagus with hollandaise sauce. MMMMMmmm.
So, after making contact with the mother ship tomorrow, get those invitations out and do a little shopping. Being newcomers, I would suggest a nice grocery store with a good butcher shop, lest the product of any foraging you may be doing for specimens inadvertantly gets mixed in with din din.
Bon apetite........

Well...as far as dinner goes, everyone loves a BBQ, and I'm not talkin' hamburgers and hot dogs. Spare ribs, honey-marinated ham, chicken breasts, those are the things that sell. Of course, rather than serve cocktails and mimosa, make sure there is plenty of beer and coolers....and decorate the yard: cover that old stump with a table, put up strings of lights to set the mood, make sure the lose board in the fence is behind the BBQ, etc.
... perhaps the message of life in that paragraph was too subtle, so here goes: People don't want to be treated run-of-the-mill, even if they are. So, compliments and extra care will get you farther than anything more substantial will (ie:ribs vs hamburgers) But, despite wanting to be important, they will resent you if they think that you think they are stuck-up, or too classy to enjoy the little niceties of life (ie:beer and coolers) Revelation #3: Covering up is what we DO. Makeup, fancy clothes, jewelry...everything is about appearance. If the appearance is good, then what is underneath must be, too. To enjoy an intimate and meaningful relationship with others (especially neighbors) is undesirable. Therefor, let them think well of you, but not necessarily know it.
Such is the art of society as far as i can tell. Hope it helps you in both your quests to find the meaning of life and host a garden party!
