Amanda shows us a little bit of toughness to make crushed ice for your cocktails.

You all know how to throw a party.

Each week in Kickstarter Love, Feed52 will feature a Kickstarter project that focuses on food and the community. Basically, it’s about cool people doing cool things with food. This week, it's about a massive, roaming dinner party.

Family dinner has been given a lot of credit for keeping kids off drugs and parents connected. Sitting down to eat with the people you love is an age-old tradition, one that often spawns new relationships, ideas, and connections. Eating with a group—whether it's family, friends or strangers—is perhaps the most basic communal experience you can have. And one of the most fruitful.

The Feast Conference is a cross-disciplinary series of discussions dedicated to changing the world through innovation and entrepreneurship. Organizers describe the event as a "feast on big ideas" that seeks to address some of "today's toughest challenges." They ask participants to "bring their best to the table" in order to help change the world.

Amanda hails pork shoulder as the dinner party closer -- it's inexpensive, reliable and a true crowd-pleaser.

Amanda gets back into the dinner party game. She shares her menu and strategies for the first of (she hopes) many Friday night dinner parties.
