I'd Love Your Insights...

[Guest guest]

It's only for one meal and if it's known you are a vegetarian family they should

respect you by not bringing meat.

There are so many wonderful recipes to cook. You can find vegetarian recipes in

almost any cookbook. Any guest who would insist on bringing their own meat is

doing that to defy you. That's my humble or you know how I am, not humble

opinion.
