I think it has happened ..... but so long ago I dont remember. I do donate food stuffs and paper products to the food pantry at church.

When you go to someones house for dinner do you bring a "hostess gift" ?

I often do.....but not always. If we know that they would appreciate and use it....we often bring a bottle of wine. Last time....we didnt because we didnt know the hostesses very well and didnt know if they drank....and didnt want to bring something if the other guests werent....just felt a little awkward.

Extra Credit Question:

What was the last thing that made you say

Wow, for the life of me, I would of never thought they didnt sell apricot nectar anymore ?

Just for fun:

OK fess up, do you have any "fanny packs" ?
I dont, but one member of the household does.

What is your favorite potato chip ? Humpty Dumpty (They're Wicked Good!) but I don't even know if they sell them anymore....I almost never eat chips.

Lemonade: Yay or Nay Yay

The grocery stores here have weekly 10 items for $10... so if it's something I use or like, I will stock up. Did that to some canned baked beans and such and then had to go to Florida for an extended period of time. When I got back, they were close to being out of date. No way as a single person I could go through all those beans before they expired!!!

Who would be the recipient of this bounty ? Friends/neighbors

Bonus Question:

When you go to someones house for dinner do you bring a "hostess gift" ? Yes, a bottle of wine or sometimes a gift pack of blank (inside) cards I've painted designs on or if it's spring or summer, a flat of flowers or a fresh bunch from my gardens...
