My wife pours honey and walnuts on them before baking. Everyone always asks for them.

Except for the people with nut allergies! I hope they are clearly labeled.

Same. It’s nice not to have to cook dinner for my family, and they are happy as clams while I just eat before I go out with my wine in a tumbler.

My mom used to win prizes with her "zucchini casserole". I think it was something like this:

I bring my own pear, Gouda, and tiny snifter of Frangelico.

Cretin. That’s only for holiday parties. Take your fruit and go eat it on the porch, already.

And food poisoning for anyone arriving late

I love you, too, which is why I brought this Harry and David basket that I won in a raffle at work to share with you!

Meatballs in grape jelly is my worst. So so disgusting.

Best would be a really good summer salad with produce from their own garden or a farmers market. Tomato, basil, mozzarella. Tomatoes, avocado, red onion. That sort of thing.

Best: Those awesomely awful Rice Krispie treats with peanut butter and the melted chocolate on top

Never encountered these but they sound gross.

One time a friend brought a whole bag of Dino nuggets to a pool party at a friends house. We were having crabs and other sides. The kids seriously loved the Dino nuggets. It wouldn’t have occurred to me to bring something like theft but she has one picky kid with autism ( and another non picky kid) and she wanted to make sure he had something he would eat. All the kids had some.

That may have won a prize in 1979, but it isn’t going to now. Just no to condensed cream of anything soup

You scoff but you’d attack it like a starving Affenpinscher.
