[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People have forgotten how to be good guests and good hosts during the pandemic. People got bored and were getting recipe ideas off of Instagram. Or they only throw potlucks and don’t get that the vibe of a dinner party is totally different. At this point, you do just need to tell them ahead of time that you’ve got a full menu that you’ve worked out with guests with allergies and food restrictions, so please just bring yourselves. What’s missing is the guest side of communication…they should have been asking you before they brought anything that required oven time or kitchen equipment…[/quote] This. And yes, it really is okay to stop someone in their tracks from setting up in your kitchen. Be firm and friendly as you say something like, “I had no idea. I’m not set up for another cook in here.” Make sure your spouse is aware so they can help move the person along and out of your kitchen. [/quote]
