When you're a guest...

Posted by nalega, November 26, 2008

I'm spending the holiday with the in-laws, which is still new for me. I miss being with my own family, and somehow it makes me feel a little better about it if I do some cooking...

I just made 3 different things to bring (2 sides and a dessert). I didn't tell my mother in law what I was bringing (she didn't ask), but I did tell her I was bringing a couple of things, and checked on the final head count. I'm hoping I didn't over do it, and that she won't be offended....

When you're a guest, what do you usually tell the host(ess) in advance? Do you ask them what to bring, or tell them what you're bringing? Or do you just show up with it?
