In fact, we probably would have bought one ourselves if you hadn't offered to bring anything (by the way, thank you!). <BR/><BR/>Also, the dessert was spectacular! I agree that that's where the focus should be. <BR/><BR/>I'm sorry to hear about Cam, but glad it's nothing serious.

I think I was trying to prove a point to Miss Susan in trying to prove how easy bagged salads were. :)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756409013329774922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2050099677299813613.post-4822278578971387222009-03-21T21:31:00.001-07:002009-03-21T21:31:00.001-07:00I like to put the bagged salad in a bowl and add s...I like to put the bagged salad in a bowl and add some tomatoes, feta cheese, croussants, etc. to spice it up, like Susan said. I wouldn't bring the actual bag like you said in your e-mail! I would have it looking all nice in the bowl! Hope you had a fun night though!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03384422556801094032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2050099677299813613.post-11934605174926718302009-03-21T21:31:00.000-07:002009-03-21T21:31:00.000-07:00I don't think it matters much, but it seems like i...I don't think it matters much, but it seems like it wouldn't be any more trouble to put it together before going.

If you had brought both items and they were store bought, I would think it were tacky. I agree with you that a homeade dessert is a highlight :)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05775799695976189347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2050099677299813613.post-64013085188739824442009-03-21T13:21:00.000-07:002009-03-21T13:21:00.000-07:00I forgot you were making a dessert- so that does c...I forgot you were making a dessert- so that does change things. BUT what I think you should do, is if you are going to buy the salad (which is okay) then I think you should put it in a nice bowl and make it LOOK like you made it. Fake 'em out. =)<BR/><BR/>I guess I envisioned you walking in and tossing a bag of salad on her counter. Seems a tad tacky. <BR/><BR/>My thinking: The hostess is doing all the work of cleaning her home and making a homemade meal, so you want your part to look like you put a little effort into it - not like you just ran into the grocery store on your way over. Plus then you're using her stuff on top of that - dirtying her salad bowl.<BR/><BR/>I guess I just think it's nice to make it LOOK like effort went into something, whether it did or not. Think Sandra Lee. =)<BR/><BR/>Fortunately, Bonnie is such a gracious person that I'm sure she wasn't bothered at all. =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
