[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Drives me nuts when people randomly show up with food they expect me to serve[/quote] You must be a lovely hostess.[/quote] I am. Fully planned, well executed meals. Fully stocked bar. Wine matched to the food. Don't really need a dish cooked in a manner I don't know, of unknown quality, that may or may not compliment my menu. [/quote] It would probably make everyone happy if you made clear in some polite way that don't need any help with the meal. I think it's assumed that people will bring something to a barbeque, unless notified to the contrary. I'd be delighted not to have to do anything but show up. Re alcohol - unless you know the hosts really well, I'd stay away from bringing beer or wine. Plenty of former alcoholics in this area who don't need or appreciate the temptation. I'm not one of them, but I've become sensitive to the issue.[/quote]
