Hello! How can I help you today?<|im_end|>

I'm planning to host a party for my friends and I want to cook for them, but I'm not sure where to start.<|im_end|>

That sounds fun. To get started, can you tell me how many guests you're expecting and what type of food you're thinking of serving?<|im_end|>

There will be about 10 people, and I was thinking of making some finger foods and appetizers.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
For 10 people, you'll want to make sure you have a variety of options. Consider making 3-4 different types of finger foods, such as mini quiches, deviled eggs, and meatballs. Also, don't forget to have plenty of drinks on hand.<|im_end|>
