Just for fun: worst/best dishes to bring to a block party

[Anonymous]

I dont know if its best or worst but I made pasta salad using Costco pesto and some feta and people loved it. It's easy and works well with orzo too.

I actually like the dessert only idea. If you all live right there, why go to the trouble of putting an entire meal together when you could all just eat at home, bring a few desserts and relax. That sounds so much more enjoyable.

Yes we all eat. Only the eating disorder mommies stand on the side with their Yeti full of wine

NP. I eat: in my own house before I walk out to the party, and yes, I do enjoy one serving of wine at the party. If I’m hungry later I might even eat again after the party. I’m zany that way.

Enjoy your warm pasta salad and communal queso dip. I’m really missing out.

+1. I always get sushi before the party, eat before joining the party, and might end up having a bowl of cereal or something if I’m hungry after the party is over. Just because I don’t eat from a communal trough does not mean that I have an eating disorder.

+2. I've seen you people with your cats jumping on the counter and your kids picking their noses and "helping" in the kitchen. No thanks.

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.

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!

Nailed it.

BYO wine in a grown up sippy cup is also a bit disordered. Do you even like your neighbors?

Only here will folks brag about being grossed out. I know you have your face in that 7 layer dip with Fritos.

Everybody brings their own alcoholic beverages, as it would be illegal to serve them at a block party. I sometimes drink water, sometimes sparking water, or sometimes wine, but it’s always in a tumbler as there’s tons of people. What, you want me to carry a wineglass around all night? Our block party has a bounce house and kids run around near it without their shoes on.

We provide adult beverages at our block parties. MCPD often stop by and do not care one bit. They eat and give out cups or what not to the kids. Off duty officers will even *gasp* have a beverage. No one is driving, and it’s a very tame crowd.

Oh isn’t that nice? That doesn’t make it legal. I’m not going to risk my freedom or reputation by putting out beer and wine for a block party, but you do you.

I mean, if providing Franzia is really that important to you, go ahead and do it!

Your absolute need to have it is the problem.

But you will make sure you’re buzzed in public. And not eat anything. Cool.

Reading comprehension problems got you down? I literally said “I sometimes drink water, sometimes sparkling water, or sometimes wine.” I don’t *need* to carry any of those beverages in a tumbler, but I do, because I avoid unnecessary plastic or paper waste, and I’m not going to bring a glass or spill-able cup of any sort, containing any beverage, to a party where kids are running around. Take a breath and work on reading slowly. Think about what the words mean. You can get there, I just know it!
