[quote=Anonymous][code][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pulling up in a new Mercedes SUV with their 4 kids and all they brought was a cheap-o Kroger pumpkin pie. My husband and I spent over $1000 on this spread![/quote]

Yeah, that's obnoxious.[/quote]

If the guests all brought food.....how is it possible that YOU spent $1000 on the spread?  [/quote]

+1 how could you spend a grand, but still need everyone to provide more more more?

I'm actually not one of the posters who is opposed to you spending that much. It's a lot to me, but I wouldn't judge you for it. I do think it's shitty for you to spend that amount, invite guests, then criticize them for...what, exactly?[/quote]
Maybe only the sister brought dessert.  Why do you assume everyone brought something?[/quote]

NP here wondering how this comment has managed to unhinge so many... it seems the first PP has really hit a nerve with her comment.  Maybe there are a lot of store-bough pie toters on DCUM!  :lol: [/quote]

Store bought pie can be really good. It's a weird thing to get all crazy offended about.[/quote]

Really?  Most store bough pie I've had tastes absolutely awful- and I've had Kroger's.  Not to mention it costs about $5.  Would you be pleased if someone showed up with a box of Twinkie's from Walmart (and obviously, had the money to buy something better, if they're hopping out of an expensive car)?[/quote]

I wouldn't necessarily expect a fancy French bakery confection if that is what you are asking.  Nor would I assume that everyone who drives around an expensive car is a good cook or even has time to cook.

Maybe they've been on the road visiting other friends/family and they picked up a pie that they thought might be appreciated.  Clearly it wasn't.  Oops.

No, it wasn't.  And for future reference, grabbing an $5 last-minute, mediocre tasting pie when someone else goes to a lot of effort to make the party and food wonderful is fairly inconsiderate.  The least you can do, if you know that the food is a certain caliber and you can afford it, is to make or buy something at a similar level to what the hostess is serving.  That does not mean something made on a mass-produced assembly line that tastes as such.  [/quote]
