- She invited 12 people to dinner when she only had 6 plates and 3 cups, she used tin cans, jelly jars for cups and hubcaps with tinfoil for plates. She made a steak dinner with one knife and they used scissors to cut the steak.

Just because you have only six plates and three glasses is no reason why you can't invite 12 people to dinner. You can drink out of a jelly jar or a tin can. And there are lots of things you can use for plates — like hubcaps lined with tin foil. I once made a steak dinner in an apartment that had only one knife. We used scissors. It was quite memorable.
