As a responsible host it is one's duty to make a guest at ease, comfortable, welcome, content. This is accomplished with a welcoming manner, an offering of a hearty meal, Kentucky Bourbon, fine tobacco, and good company.
That's pretty much the basics, y'all. Some families have their own traditions and some have a different mode for blood kin than for acquaintances and friends. An example of this difference is the family of JACI, i.e. for family "Greek Soup" was always provided and a block of feta cheese was kept on the table, neither of which was provided to those outside the family. This distinction was not made as a slight to non-kin, but as an acknowledgment that other folks had different tastes than ours.
The Family of JACII does a right respectable job of welcoming guests, as do my siblings; Nate is always well stocked with adult beverages and fine cigars, Welldigger will fix damned near anything you bring him and is a wizard on the grill.
Amateurs. Come to Casa JACIII and you be treated proper, as Welldigger can attest. Who else will rent you a track hoe?
