[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's poor hosting to make everything ahead. Desserts? Okay. Salad (without dressing) maybe okay. Fancy bread with dinner? Okay. But if I'm not willing to put in the time and effort, why am I even bothering to have these people over? They deserve high quality, tasty meals. [/quote]

Yikes, ok. I like to talk to people when they are over and feel bad when people follow me to the kitchen because they feel bad enjoying themselves while I’m working over the stove. I think the best is something you prep ahead and then it cooks fresh but without needing a lot of attention (like lasagna in my OP). But I always make pulled pork/chicken by cooking for like 6 hours so that seems like it would achieve the same goal. I make the Mac n cheese real time too of course. Thankful my friends are definitely chiller than you! [/quote]

I have high standards for myself. I wouldn't serve a crock pot meal to guests. It screams lazy and messy to me. Pulled pork seems like something to eat outdoors, like at a ... block party or something. [/quote]
