Period!!! If they don't want them as leftovers - they offer them out. BUT - she should have left them in the bowl - washed it and returned it to you at a later date.

Thanks!<br /><br />As to the blueberries - hmm...sometimes I'm guilty of keeping nosh after everyone goes home, but I do ask if the person who brought it wants it back. Maybe some hostesses think of their game as a dinner party and if you bring something it's a gift...

I brought a big bowl of mixed berries - blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and blackberries. With some very nice whipped cream on the side. Lots of delicious berries, in a nice cut glass bowl. When the evening was over, the hostess emptied the bowl into a leftover container, put it in her fridge, rinsed out my bowl and handed it back to me empty. Is that weird? It felt weird to me. She was welcome to have them but I don't know, it felt strange. I'm still scratching my head over that one. If she had said, "Ooohh these are so good, may I keep some" I would have said, oh, keep them all, Paul and your kids will enjoy them in the morning" but instead she just kept them. Weird?

Why let anyone know I don't need it, and why give anyone else a chance to get it if there is still another tile out there? I know that the second reason is not always the case. It's not like I'm missing a turn to draw a tile. What do you think, Linda?Donna Huisingahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04118526890566279434noreply@blogger.com
