[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its bizarre that he's criticizing you for not cooking but he also isn't cooking ????[/quote]

This is a husband problem not a Costco problem.

He's now in charge of the food for the party AND the clean up.[/quote]

I agree with this. As far as your guests' experience (not your husband's) goes, I think it depends on a few things:

Is it a dinner party or a house party? These are very different things how I grew up. At a dinner party, I'd expect more home-cooked or catered. At a house party, Costco is fine.

What do these people serve when they host you? If they are doing all home-cooked, they might appreciate the same effort being reciprocated in return. Or, they may not care at all and just enjoy not being the ones to host for a change. Do they keep inviting you back, after they've been to your house? If so, you're probably fine with the Costco food. If the invitations have dwindled or slowed, you might want to kick it up a notch.

Finally - are these people you need/want to impress? Say a boss, or someone you're hoping to get a favour from/college recommendation letter for your kid, referral to join a members-only club, etc.? If so, then yes you need to do better than Costco. If they are friends/loved ones/neighbours there is often more leeway. [/quote]
