@SeaMaiden It’s not OUR fault that you did not provide sufficient information.

@Shanus

SeaMaiden likes to dish it out, but, when the tables are turned, she gets her feathers ruffled easily.

@moon_gazer I don’t recall @SeaMaiden having that issue.

Always coffee. (Buy a small pot, for heaven's sake.) offer water, perhaps hot or iced tea, and a soda option or two. If for brunch, you may want to consider wine. Never serve in the original bottle or can. Never plastic unless poolside or at a park picnic where glass may be prohibited.

If I'm in a strager's home, I prefer to drink from a bottle or can. I can't stand the taste of glasses washed in a dishwasher, and if I don't really know them, I don't want to eat or drink there when I don't know them or their kitchen practices. Especially since the OP doesn't entertain or serve guests, there is no real reason for this short visit, to expect her to ramp it up and provide anything too fancy.

In my opinion there is nothing worse than someone outside their comfort zone trying to make something happen (in this case entertain and serve like the hostess with the mostest). They tend to just make the situation awkward and uncomfortable.

A selection of cold drinks served in their bottles/cans and some store bought sweets would be more than appropriate.

I’d pick up some ready made iced tea at the grocery store or I’d prepare some myself. I’d pick up some ready made bottles of Starbucks at the grocery store. They can be served cold or not and they come in four packs. I’d also offer bottled water.

Thats a good time for tea actually. Any tea would be nice with some cookies.

@SeaMaiden: I was really looking forward to reading who your guests were. Pretty please?

SMH - I've followed both of SeaMaiden's posts about this topic (the first being about house cleaning for her "guests"). I honestly think this is one of the most bizarre ongoing posts I've followed on the Forum. So many people gave thoughtful and helpful responses (including me), but the OPs comments were always confusing....from "guests from PA" to people she had never met who were going to show potential changes to the outside of her home on their laptop. Nothing adds up here. This one tops the other strange post from the woman who was contemplating renting a room in her home to her yard man and him cleaning out her garage. I feel duped, but it's been an interesting adventure!

@jannabelle1 The most bizarre thread for me will always be the woman who wanted advice to hide hickies and because she didn't come out and say it up front, people insisted she was being abused and wanted to hide bruises.
