[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thanks for the different perspectives. And yes, next time I will keep my mouth shut about how any food was made. 
To the pp who asked what else was served- there was a salad with berry vinaigrette and a roast chicken with green beans. There was also some spiced nuts she apparently made. 
I thought the food was pretty good, boxed brownies included. 
This is only my second time at her house and she has always seemed friendly and nice. Which was why I was surprised at her reaction. But live and learn. People are sensitive about their cooking! [/quote]

She wasn't being sensitive about her cooking. She was being sensitive about the fact that after she hosted and cooked a lovely dinner you took a dig at her by asking were they boxed. That minimizes the effort that goes into hosting. Clearly you don't know this but it's bad form to question your hostess on the provenance of the food she serves. All you had to say was "These brownies are delicious, mine never turn out this good." If someone at my house did that I would say "oh my gosh, I don't even get credit, that's just box brownies, we aren't fancy!" Now if I made a lasagna dinner and other sides and wine and at the end some chick I barely even knew said "was that stouffer's?" then yes, I'd be a bit peeved by the bad manners.

Live and learn. Now you know better. [/quote]
