Dp and I are going to a halloween party tonight. I just pulled out the invite to double check the details and have spotted a line asking us to bring a plate of nibbles. This has been happening a lot recently - we get invited to a party then at some point, I'm asked to bring a plate of something (incidentally, it's always me that receives the email on food - not DP, although in this case it was in the original email).
These are people who are in their 30s, often married or coupled up, with mostly good jobs and careers. Is it so much to ask that if you want to invite people round, you should feed them?
I'm tempted to bring DP and I a sandwich each.
[and yes, it's "his" friends. my friends send us home with leftovers, never mind asking us to bring anything ].
