Surviving the Domestic Jungle

For my little social thing this evening, I am supposed to bring a snack or dish and I feel the need to talk about it because I am such a crazy person sometimes that I have over analyzed this to the point of needing to share my findings. First of all, a snack denotes a quick little nibble and that is generally ate with your hands. In other words, no dishes involved. A dish tends to lean towards something warm that is eaten with utensils and on a plate. Well, I am not cooking something because lets face it, that’s a lot of effort and who actually wants to eat the homemade food of a stranger? If you are adorably neurotic like myself, you probably look at a homemade dish of someone you have never met and wonder how clean their hands, kitchen and dish were. Then, if you are extra crazy (like myself) you probably wonder about how they got the dish to the place you are meeting at. How long was it out of the fridge!? Just not worth the stress in my opinion. So if you are left with the option of bringing a snack, I always lean towards a sweet. Not a whole cake or anything but a package of cookies or a pastry seems nice…Store made! Again, the whole homemade snack thing kind grosses me out. I always bring something sweet because whenever I go somewhere, I always hope there are sweets. Im surprised I still have teeth with all the sweets I love to ingest. I would never be that person that brings a vegetable tray or something. Oh how lame! Its not the time nor place for vegetables! I have this ridiculous theory that calories don’t count as long as they are consumed away from my house! I know its crazy but if I am eating calorie free food, it is not going to be a vegetable! I wonder what the other people are going to bring…….Hopefully something sweet!
