Lots of good suggestions here! Please be sure to let us know what you decided to bring for the luncheon, Joel. And welcome to DC!
All of your suggestions were so good, and I must try that corn salad recipe out. But I decided not to add anything to Rose's lunch; I took her some hostess gifts - a few bottles of wine, some homemade pepper jelly and vacuum packed home-smoked chicken thighs. She was happy, I got rid of stress, AND I got lots of great ideas for next time from y'all! So thanks again
Sounds like everything worked out fine. Good for you on that. However, I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering what exactly her "her "famous" (according to my husband) taco salad" really is. Was it worth the advance billing?All of your suggestions were so good, and I must try that corn salad recipe out.

I did get a hug. You gotta choose your battles, right? LOL
That's too funny. It sounds kinda good though! My MIL actually taught me to make tartar sauce. And I was astounded at how easy it was, and how adaptable, and bit doubtful until I tried it for myself… Equal parts mayo and sour cream, finely chopped yellow onion and finely chopped kosher dill pickle. "That's it?" I hear you all say. Yes add in some minced capers and minced lox and THAT'S a schmear any bagel would covet!Yes you do...
My son dated a young lady who insisted that she make us the very best dip, which would be perfect for our pre-Christmas dinner munchies.. (we always pigged out on stuff before dinner )
I, eagerly asked her to make the dip for us.. She unwrapped a block of cream cheese and poured half a bottle of seafood cocktail sauce over it.. TA DA!!!
I hugged her and winked at my son...
