So, when I’m at home in Houston, I go all out with refreshments (e.g., fresh baked cookies, fruit and cheese plate, seafood towers with oysters, shrimp cocktail, crab, fully stocked bar, etc.).

I regularly have these things at home, so it’s easy to whip up something on the fly.

However, when I’m in another city, I obviously can’t have everything on hand. What are some suggestions of basics.

I think beer, wine, vodka, scotch, bourbon, gin, mixers, soft drinks. But what snacks would be good and easy? At hotels, I just order room service. But now I have a private incall in BCS, so I need to do some shopping.

Any and all suggestions are welcome!
