[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I cook huge quantities for TG and ask our guests to bring their own tupperware, freezer packs etc.  Then all of us divvy up the food for everyone.  The last thing that my family wants is to eat TG leftovers for more than one meal the next day.

OP, try doubling up the TG meal quantities.  It is wonderful that people want to eat the leftovers. You can send them back home with a taste of the holidays.  Food for me is the universal language of love. [/quote]

As a guest, I’d be uncomfortable showing up with Tupperware and freezer packs. I’d probably just say I forgot to bring them and thank you for the offer.[/quote]

We go to very good friends' most years for thanksgivings, and bring 3-4 dishes, including the main dish (usually a tenderloin or a rib roast, no one likes turkey).  We happily bring containers for leftovers, and bring home some (not all) of whatever is left, whether we made it or not.

It never occurred to me that I should be uncomfortable about this.  Of course, none of us are uptight snots, either.  [/quote]
