[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This tea and cheese indeed makes me laugh because i can imagine what the SIL is thinking...
In my family people are so worried about being an imposition that we bring bags of food with us when staying with family so as not to cause any expense or trouble. My aunt showed up with a tin of coffee, a tupperware full of hardboiled eggs, oranges and a loaf of bread "so she wouldn't be a bother." [/quote]

That is one of the biggest bothers of all. My fridge is stocked full of not only turkey and all the other ingredients needed for the feast, but several days’ worth of houseguest provisions. My ILs always act shocked when we don’t have room for their random crap they bring—half-drunk Snapples, 1/4 container of milk, two tablespoons of sour cream that OMG “might go bad.” So annoying. I’d rather people show up empty handed and tell me what they want me to stock ahead of time so that I can manage my fridge and counter space.[/quote]

We finally got a compact fridge for this reason. Actually came in handy during parties and pandemic. Lowes and Costco have good prices. [/quote]
