This is gonna be a long-winded post.
A party that my partner's mother is doing brought all this on.
First, have you ever had a host who didn't know that she was supposed to purchase the ingredients? I just assumed they knew. She didn't and when she got the list of ingredients, she was upset. But, my partner explained it to her and she stopped being upset by that. Then, she was surprised at the length of ingredients. So, how do you communicate to the host that the ingredients are their responsibility? Or do you not do it at all because they just "know"?
She chose the Chicken Fajitas and with that I do the salsa and the guacamole. I went to the grocery store today to price the ingredients because I was curious and the total came to $30! Now I'm worried that might be too much. Now, I know that price may vary depending upon how much chicken is, and if the host already has it, etc. But still, that's a lot.
Or, maybe I'm worried because she's the first person to ever say something, and she's family.
All the other recipes I offer were between $15-$20. The fajitas are my favorite one to do and now I worry that it's too expensive.
Am I just being a worrywart?
