Funny, but I understand that the last time these folks hosted, it did go something like that. This year, there are going to be some young children, so, probably not.
Thanks to everyone for the conversation, but now I'm more confused.
Babsarooni said no corn, grains or peanuts? Why?
Even stranger, Sheldon said noone brings cooked dishes. This I really don't get. In any case, they asked for sides, so I've got to do better than a box of chocolates. Hoping to be a little more adventurous than kugel.
Thanks sf for all the info (haven't checked the site yet), but about the cheese puff pastry - even without the treyf, I wouldn't bring cheese to a meat meal and wouldn't any way I got the puff to puff be not right?
Another question - my vegetarian girlfriend is going to cook, too. She can't use butter for this, she can't use lard or schmaltz for her. I buttume veg oil or Crisco is OK? Maybe I'll just take a trip down the Maneshevitz aisle tomorrow.

I'm not too worried. Maybe making things more difficult for myself, but enjoying the learning and the challenge. The only advice they gave was a reminder not to bring bread or cheese.

I'm still accepting advice. I'll let you know how it goes.
