Why the Kitchen?

So you decide to have a few people over for dinner...you clean up and maybe even have the house decorated for upcoming holidays...why does everyone congregate in kitchen? We have to admit that although we would like our space to prep foods and make a mess, the kitchen is the heart of all the gossip, laughs and entertainment. Last night, we celebrated Dad's 71st birthday, too lazy to clean up after such a large dinner, the men sat at the dining table eating our Wicked Jacks Butter Rum Cake with vanilla ice cream and the women.... gossiping in the kitchen (about the men) with our signature coffee mixed with sweetened condensed milk for an extra creamy and sweet flavor.
