Exactly what I thought Howie. So I decided on a "snack", bought the ingredients and then I find out today, the hostess meant, "dessert" saying she uses the two words, snack and dessert interchangeably. OK, since my husband, our son and his son are going, I had to regroup and come up with a dessert. Decided this time to use what I had at home and came up with chocolate, toffee crunch bars topped with toasted pecans and pistachios. The idea of having a dessert potluck on the day of arrival stumped me, since, as I said most folks are coming in from out of state. Which means they either have to bring a dessert (maybe hard to do in a car) or go to the store and get some store bought thing. Being a foodie, this would be out of the question for me. How do you all feel about this?
I suppose sometimes we just have to rock and roll with what is dealt!
