Yes!   I know I just had a "discussion" about how I hate unplanned food brought when people come to dinner.  But I read these suggestions in my e-mail today and love them:

1. An apron. Bring one, wear one, but come in and say to the hosts: I'm here to help!  Put me to work!  Like Superman arriving! 

2. A box of freezer bags and/or good disposable storage containers.

3. Some stain-remover pens or individual stain-remover wipes.

My own favorite: New dish towels or dish cloths!  Fancy kitchen soap also maybe.

I had a laugh when I read this and thought how cute (and welcome) the apron especially for a friend or family get-together.  Maybe matching aprons for you and the host?

All of it, especially #1.

I love those people!

I really like all these, especially the apron one. I once spilled a big glass of red wine all over my neighbor's tablecloth....I should have brought a huge tub of laundry detergent!!!

Hand sanitizer and rubber gloves to help wash dishes.

I'd bring my own toilet paper...after having attended  several "events" where the host had run out...

Easy for me ...... and my extended family .... two choices:

• An alcoholic beverage
• A really gooey dessert

Love the apron idea!

Give the cook a break and do all the dishes.

I don't get it...?

I love the apron idea. My niece gave me one for a Christmas dinner party that is red with an embroidery saying "Kitchen Diva".

I have done the Ziploc containers for many years but have never considered the others.  Love the apron suggestion.
