[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently went to a party where the only thing served was dessert - cake and cookies. No fruit, no protein, not even a little cheese platter - [b]I had snacks in my purse but I knew the host would be offended if she saw me take those out.[/b] I'm pregnant so I can't really go hours on end without a well balanced snack, so I ate what the host provided but felt pretty ill coming out of the party.

I think if you're going to keep people for more than two hours you should offer something other than sugar - I can't be the only one who gets a stomach ache when I eat like that. [/quote]

What time was the party?[/quote]

It ran into dinner time. [/quote]

You don't have to eat sugary things if they disagree with you. You also can survive not eating for 2 hours. If it ran to dinner (say 3-5) have a snack at 3. Leave at 4:30. Just having you take some responsibility for yourself, btw. I am absolutely in the camp that people throwing parties should go all out with fruit, cheese, etc. or not have the party--hospitality overboard. But you sound helpless.[/quote]

You might have missed the part where I said the party ran more than two hours and that I came prepared with back up snacks for myself and my kid. [/quote]

But you said you wouldn't eat them.[/quote]

Okay, I'll be sure to reject your refreshments that you spent days preparing next time I'm a guest at your home. Thanks for letting me know you don't mind that sort of thing. [/quote]
