the chef family had been to a party at my brother's where my nephew
had cooked a quick roasted beef tenderloin fir a short time in a
very hot oven. Chef's wife extended this invitation to my friend
and asked if she
could bring that dish. She also asked her to bring two bottles of
wine, one red and one white. She specified which wines. Then
chef's wife asked her to bring enough of the meat dish for 20. The
date of the party is also our friend's birthday.

It never ceases to amaze me at how clueless and rude people dare to
be. I love potluck but potluck is defined by being a grab bag, not
an order what you want, other than perhpas which course.

So said neighbor puts the hit on everybody, sets a pretty table and
then takes credit for having entertained eleagantly. Next thing you
know she's chastising people who don't entertain, telling them that
it is easy and hardly expensive at all.

As it is her birthday, she has a good reason to decline the
invitation.

You mean Another good reason. (laugh)

hmmmm yes:) You know what I mean:))
