[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get it, OP.  I host a lot (like a few times per week) and I have learned with certain guests to assign them an item that won’t mess with my plans.  It’s laughable how some people bring a “salad” but actually just bring ingredients and want to make the whole thing at my house!  WHY!?  When I am asked to bring a salad, I cut everything up at home, put it in baggies, make the dressing in a small mason jar,  stick it all on top of the lettuce in the bowl, add my salad forks….then I just have to toss it together right before it is eaten.  No mess, no more space than the bowl otherwise takes on the table.  [/quote]

This. If I bring something, but it's always brought fully prepped/cooked and ready to serve (including serving utensils).

I've posted before about my BIL who will disrupt Thanksgiving by bringing the raw ingredients for some complicated appetizer that requires chopping, assembling and cooking -- in the middle of making Thanksgiving dinner. We've tried to shut him down, but without success. So we just live with it.[/quote]
