[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For real though. Those of y’all who have a problem with what OP served, what would you have offered at an impromptu, post-playdate lunch? If it were me I’d probably have pulled out sandwich fixings (and sure, I always have fruit around so I’d probably offer that too). Maybe a bag of chips. I certainly wouldn’t be whipping up an elaborate meal, and I’d rather have homemade pasta alla vodka than a boring sandwich!

Do people really just not ever host if they haven’t pre planned a full course meal with optimal balance of lean protein, whole grains, fruits and fresh veg? That’s sad to me. I love that my friends are easy and casual and would happily come over for a DIY sandwich if a playdate ran into lunchtime and we wanted to keep the fun going.[/quote]

OP never said any of it was from scratch. More likely than not it was jarred. Otherwise what would she have done? Tasked the friend with watching the kids while she cooked alone? That would be weird too. If I can’t pull together sandwiches, and a  salad, we always have [b]cheese, crackers, hummus, vegetables, meats, pita and fresh fruit on hand so it would be like a charcuterie board spread.[/b] If they were still hungry I have a freezer full of food to offer.[/quote]

I don't think this is objectively superior to a bowl of pasta. [/quote]

It is objectively better, but not subjectively, of course. [/quote]
