[quote=Anonymous]You invite people over at a meal time, you provide a nice meal. They show up, you offer what you have on hand and would make anyway. If they are informal enough to randomly appear, I see no problem with being similarly informal. I was making a salad for lunch. Would you like some too?  No?  Well, if you get hungry, feel free to rummage in the refrigerator and heat up some leftovers or make a sandwich. Nothing appeals?  I'm sorry, we haven't been to the store in a few days and are running low on supplies. If you tell me what you had in mind, I can probably suggest somewhere nearby where YOU can get some take out. You may want to call BIL and SIL and anyone else who is going to make an appearance and see if YOU can get something for them too.  Or maybe ask BIL and SIL to pick something up on their way over.

Repeat as needed until expectations have been appropriately adjusted. In the meantime, just ignore or misinterpret hints and strong suggestions that you play short order cook. [/quote]
