Not sure if it was a play date or what but it was very strange.

Oh and only one glass of wine per guest

Damn girl how many glasses of wine do you need lol??

How dare she. This is almost as bad as serving pasta for lunch.

Maybe they didn’t know how to make their own pizza. Possible.

No one that miserly invites guests into their house. But I do find it hard to believe a host only has a single bottle of wine on hand, unless these were just church friends.

Protestants. Come join the Catholics. I have never been to a church function after noon that didn’t have alcohol. There were multiple bottles of wine at the Wednesday evening “Family of Faith” meetings last year.
If we can have two glasses of wine and still teach our kids the 4,000 prayers they need to know and all of the saints for every minor problem in their lives, you can have more than one glass and make pizza. 😁

Barbaric!!

I am sorry you had to endure this, did they make you clean up as well. Host your own party and show them how it’s done. Serve beer and wine.

I couldn't imagine limiting DC area house guests to one glass of wine. I've done some hosting with various friend groups and nearly all of them appreciated a variety of drink options and volumes. In fact, they would probably hold an intervention if I ever limited drinks and preached about the horrors of alcohol.

They totally should have served baked ziti instead. Or chicken salad. Or pasta salad. And instead of limiting wine I would hope they would limit the asparagus spears.

IDK, but I think I'm going to ask my guests to mash their own potatoes this year.

Only if you invite OP so she can post about it, please.

She had better!

We found the quintessential mannerless morons who, instead of correcting when they know they are in the wrong, double down. It's this generation's signature move. Never admit you did anything wrong. Just call names, gaslight, and repeat the same nonsense a few more times. So very Trumpian of you.

It's DCUM. Prob not.

Well, the OP would have to lift up the spoon to scoop potatoes, that is so labor-intensive. I don’t think they can handle it.

You know, they still have book stores where they sell books on etiquette and how to host dinner parties? I think you would greatly benefit from reading one.

And you would benefit greatly from getting a sense of humor.
