Playing 'Top Host'

Humour intended: I invited a close friend to dine with me then to play golf, returning for tea. The day was fine, no cloud in the sky so the culinary items I decided to buy. I purchased a joint of fine sirloin steak and yorkshire puddings I would bake; plenty of vegetables cooked just right with rosemary sauce as an added delight. A favourite sweet ~ peaches and cream fitted the menu like a splendid dream! My table was laid as the clock struck one and with much relief the cooking was done. Now...that expected knock on the door; my friend had arrived to goodies galore, but as I was just set to play the 'top host' all he asked for was scrambled egg on toast.
