    Thankfully I was having no more soup at that point. BUT, someone who does that probably has a slew of other habits I would cringe at.

    Oh my gosh, please tell me she did that because she was then going to throw the whole thing out and wash the pot. That's beyond gross.

    Sadly, I think for me this is the answer. I think I have to judge whether I can attend an event based on whether I am able know ahead of time what, specifically, is being served so I can plan. And since I know pot lucks are no good for me I'll have to avoid those for a while, or more.

    I have to say, that's a hard pill to swallow.
