Last night I hosted the final committee meeting of the school year at our house. I asked everyone to bring an appetizer or a dessert to share.
I genuinely believe people would much rather hang out at someones house for a few hours and go over business than have to pay big bucks to go out to eat… I mean really… why pay $30 for a meal when you can spend a few dollars instead.
I seriously don’t understand why more people don’t entertain on a regular basis… Do they think they’ll have to provide all the food and beverages?
Do they think it costs a fortune to entertain? Because it doesn’t… Take for example this pitcher of iced tea I made… I used 4 tea bags, a few snippets of fresh mint from the garden…added ice… and you’re looking at enough iced tea to quench the thirst of 15 people… all for less than a quarter. Had someone of ordered 1 glass of iced tea at a restaurant… the cost would have been $2.95 … at least!
Plus I think it’s always fun to see what people bring…
Like this person… she brought pepperoni slices and Triscuts… The only time I’ve ever eaten pepperoni is on a pizza…
Someone even brought a coffee mug full of chocolate raisins…
Chocolate dipped strawberries…always the little black dress of the party… A classic dessert that never goes out of style.
And… I have no idea what this was… cucumber slices, jicama and bean dip… I thought it was a rather weird combo… weird.but.tasty.
And these… I’m not sure what they are… but there were only 3 left on the plate by the time everyone went home… So all in all it was a good meeting… lot’s of food… lot’s of talking… and the most important thing… we’re done for the school year… YAY!!! Bring on the Summer Vacation. 🙂
So I’m curious… if you were asked to bring an appetizer or dessert to someones house… what would you bring?
