In today's Miss Manners column, advice columnist Judith Martin tells a hungry guest how to handle when the host doesn't cook. You can send your questions to Miss Manners through her email, [email protected] MISS MANNERS: My cousin invited me for dinner on a Sunday night and asked me to bring wine and a dessert. When I got there, she said it had been a very busy weekend and she hadn’t had time to cook.
GENTLE READER: The expression that comes to Miss Manners’ mind is “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.” Should you still wish to go to dinner at your cousin’s, you might ask her just beforehand whether she has had time to prepare, because if not, you will spare her the rush and go another time. It will at least alert her that you are on to her little scheme.If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
