[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. Yes, a typo.  The issue is she isn't putting any real effort.  She is picking up stuff from a store or restaurant.  Everyone else is taking the time to cook food and plate it. She literally stops on her way over. Can't even put on a real platter or bowl. She agrees to bring items but can't bother to make things. Her own family is only worth a quick stop at the grocery store.The rest of the family says how good the soup is or such but they are only being nice.  It is  so dismissive of her.  She eats everyone else's real food.[/quote]

This HAS to be a troll.

WTF is a "real platter"? Who care where she bought it from? Frankly, I'd rather bring food to events on things I am find disposing of so that I don't have to worry about collecting dishes afterwards. As the hostess, you should be happy that you don't have to follow up with people to come claim their things and you can just throw away her platter when the party is over.

She literally brought food with toppings and serving ware. For the life of me I cannot understand why you are upset about this. And I am a total Type A food snob!

Finally, have the other family members told you they are just being nice, or are you assuming that? I think you're assuming it and you're annoyed that people like the food she picks up better than the food you make. Please don't ever invite me to one of your potlucks, but I'll go to hers![/quote]
