Serious Green: Turn Your Lawn Into an Edible Garden
Where I live, it is pretty common for people to turn in their front and backyards into vegetable gardens particularly in very diverse neighbourhoods. It used to be something only old people did but now it seems to be cropping up more and more amongst all ages and backgrouds. Examples of guerilla gardening are all over the place as well.

weird and cheap. You'll have a crappy time because your experience has already been marred by the request. Skip the party and take your friend out instead.
I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...
pickles, jarred roasted peppers, sardines, tuna, nutella, honey, and liverwurst in the can (from the dustiest shelves via the deepest bowels of Eastern Europe). The question should be who is prudish enough to never eat directly from a jar or can?

Video: How to Grow a Pear in a Bottle
My husband's uncle has done this and then added some brandy to it after. Apparently the pear imparts a flavour to the brandy but I didn't notice a difference. Of course, as duncan 1205 has mentioned, this is how Poire William is made. If anything else, it looks impressive in a liqour cabinet.

Ignore my post! On further inspection of these I realized they were something completely different and even more fantastic than the cookies I was thinking of.

These are popular Serbian cookies and can be found on Palachinka and Cafe Chocolada blogs however, these ones look quite impressive as well!
'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'
I take the "whatever he refuses to eat" route: tuna fish sandwiches, canned liverwurst on toast, and blue cheese on Wheat Thins. Gross yet yummy.

Pear William is so incredibly delicious! I wish I had a pear tree so I could try this.

Black Star Farms Winery makes "Pear and its Spirit", an 80 proof pear brandy with a pear grown into the bottle first:

Later when the bottle is empty, leave the calcified pear in it and refill the bottle with their "Spirit of Pear":

I think tacky hardly begin to describe what this charge to the guest could be called. It sounds like someone is trying to make a buck on this affair. I honestly believe the "guest of honor" should be told. I know if someone were giving a party for me and a friend or associate did this, I'd be so embarassed I wouldn't know what to do. Then I'd get mad! I think this person would want to know. What's going to happen is that people eventually are going to hold resentment against the person the party was held for, they're not going to to believe they didn't know about it. I wonder if the honoree finds out about this just how STUPID the hosts are going to feel? I really hope someone tells them off about this, I also hope they have VERY few people show up. Of course they'll wonder why, they appear to be a very dense type.

ShawnaAdora had it right...and I guess we're the only ones....
MIRACLE WHIP right from the jar! I eat it sprinkled with black pepper. If I feel fancy, I spread it on crackers!
Cold Chef Boyardee ravioli's from the can ( a childhood vice)
Peanut butter
Eagle Brand milk
Garlic stuffed olives captured with a fork
I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...
@Traveller - you MUST have been upset. I can't imagine eating a jar of grainy mustard by itself! No, capers would be my choice, I love em.
BTW, congratulations on getting that dissertation over and to an old broad like myself, a "B" sounds pretty damned good.
I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...
Peanut Butter; Olives; Pickles; Baked Beans; Chef Boyardee; Condensed Soup; Vegetables; Ice Cream; & Almost anything that doesn't require removal from the container for cooking. If it's cooked or sufficiently prepared in the container, I'll eat it right from said container.

We know a couple who regularly order pay-per-view events (mixed martial arts primarily) and then invite people over to watch. When you get there, they have a jar out for "donations" toward the refreshments and the cost of the pay-per-view. I find this so tacky, I refuse to go with my boyfriend. I agree with others -- if you can't afford to host a party, make it pot luck, or don't host a party.

Altoids? You must be kidding!

I love to eat my own canned whole tomato's a quart size, right out of the jar. Reminds me of my mom and grandma and the farm in Ohio, great comfort and memory food for me. coco

I've got one for you, I was invited to a wedding and dinner afterward. The next line was if you want to bring a date he/she is not invited to dinner but feel free to invite them for dancing after dinner...Now how do you tell a date
meet me at the reception around 10pm., and be sure to dress up!..I did not attend.
I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...
When my sister & I went backpacking around Europe we were on a VERY limited budget... many times we arrived by bus in our next foriegn city, late at night, hungry & unfamiliar. I remember eating peas & corn cold out of the can after shopping at the 24-hour food mart in Barcelona... Dining on red wine & dark chocolate and jumping on the beds in our Paris hotel room... Eating Brie out of the package with a Swiss Army knife... Popping Pringles & chugging Fruitopia at 6am after a night of dancing & drinking in London...
Definately pints of icecream, gelato, sorbet, etc, many nights watching movies with my best friend, or doing a late-night "icecream run" with my sister & splitting a litre of Oreo...
I used to bake peanut butter cookies & eat them out of the pan
Pickles, pickled beets, pickled onions, relish, sauerkraut, olives, salsa, pasta sauce, condensed tomato soup, curried spinach, mushy peas, pie filling, peanut butter, jam, whipped topping, salad dressing, eggless mayonnaise, ketchup, bbq sauce... and yes, margarine...
PS I'm totally underweight, so I can justify eating an "entire" anything, including bags of cookies, a McCain cake, a frozen cream pie :)

Definitely should have been hosted as a potluck and BYOB. This is the second time that I've heard of this happening and both times that I've thought it was tacky.
The principal at my mom's work hosted a retirement party for a co-worker and it was a potluck, BYOB (no alcoholic beverages allowed) & a charge of $10.00 per person. If you did not bring anything it would be a $20.00 per person charge. This woman lives by me and we live in an area where homes start at around a million dollars... PLEASE!!!! How cheap can you be?! And as a side note: No entrance to the home was allowed - porta potties were brought in for the event...
Paying for someone else's party?
I think the party ought to be a get together where everyone can bring a dish and maybe some booze. It's very inconsiderate to think that everyone can afford this sort of thing. If the people, who you don't know anyway, want to have a party, I think they should foot the bill.

Simply stated - gross - classless. nothing more to be said. surrah
I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...
@dixisue, I like pb & mayo sandwiches, no matter what kind of breat I have, also occasionally add a few slices of ripe banana on that...if out of pb, sit there with banana slices on a plate, each one gets a small blobette of mayo, also good this way on a Ritz cracker.
otherwise, out of can or jar it's:
tuna, drained or undrained
Bush's beans, or B&M, best tasting IMO
Spag/MB from the can, so easy now with the zip-off tops!
uncondensed cream of broccoli or cream of chicken soup
HAVE to taste at least 2 tbl of any new jar spaghetti sauce
herring in cream sauce, or just plain pickled w/onions
sardines, in hot sauce, mustard or oil
salmon from a can, also love to drink the "juice"
pickles from a jar

Smoked Oysters.

Bread&Butter Sandwich Stacker Pickles.

peanut butter
I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...
Peanut butter, Cool whip, baked beans, dill pickles, chocolate cake frosting, and ice cream. A lot of times I'll dip chocolate chip cookies in the Cool whip or the chocolate cake frosting.

I think this is better than getting invited by the birthday person him/herself to celebrate their own birthday at a restaurant and then be expected to share the cost of his or her meal at the end. That's VERY tacky.
I have contributed substantially to a big birthday bash once beforehand because I knew the person organizing it was going way beyond her means to do it. I got a call from a common friend suggesting contributions from close friends. I thought it was fair. And then you get a nice Thank You from the birthday person. That's your birthday gift, and that's it.

Oh my, these were hilarious!
I personally love to drink any Olive juice out of the jar or can. It's my Mom's fault, and I'm sticking to it.
After visiting Buenos Aires, Dulce de Leche (like katylesser) is another fave!
Traveller, I hope your Director changed his mind. That seems unfair to me.
