Should McDonalds, BK and other fast food restaurants serve (sit in) food on plates and drinks in glasses?

We keep on hand lots of fruit. Green apples, grapes, and bananas are what seem to go the fastest when they are over. We also keep lots of microwave popcorn.

If we are in a pinch and the kids are in the mood for something sweet they can make rice krispy treats or brownies. We always have the fixin's for these. For drinks they have apple cider, bottled water, or soda to choose from.

For the older crowd we have on hand a sun dried tomato and olive relish that they can spread on crackers with cheese sliced to go with it. Jarred mango salsa is always available too. Our family eats all of these things so we usually have these in the pantry when surprise guests show up.

For drinks the adults have the same choice as the kids with the addition of beer or wine. Can of artichokes and a small jar of real Mayonnaise in the cupboard. In emergencies I drain and chop the artichokes, mix with a cup of the mayo and 1 cup of grated parmesan.

Bake in the oven at 375 for 15 mins or so, until browned and bubbly and serve with crackers. I also keep a box of frozen mini sausage rolls in the freezer. Easy to get ready in a pinch.

I serve these with whatever sauce I have on hand. Chips and dip;pizza. Spaghetti, and serve with salad (things that most people usually have on hand).

If we're just munching then I'll serve something sweet and something salty: cookies or pralines or I'll just walk to the corner bakery and pick up something. Other good choices are olives, baby corn, pickles, and other little foods that keep long and store easily. Use your imagination and anything you might have laying around!

I always have cheese, crackers and a bottle of wine....coffee for sure, and I try to keep some of my home made biscotti around. When I had the influx of teens, pop corn was my favorite thing to put out....it's cheap, easy and filling. Boneless-skinless chicken breasts on a cracker with a carrot garnish, we would be all set!

I ALWAYS have a brick of extra sharp white cheese & crackers on hand-microwave popcorn, peanuts & I also keep this is stock-which doesn't spoil and takes 10 minutes to fix! 1 glass jar of dried beef rounds (in case where the bacon, hot dogs are in the store) 1 4 oz pkg cream cheese 1 jar miniature sweet gherkin pickles When company arrives-pull cheese out to soften. Open glass jar of dried beef, cut pickles in half lengthways.

Spread each round w/the cheese, add a pickle half & roll up. Done & delicious! E I always have a good loaf of Italian or crusty French bread in the freezer (it freezes great and whose gonna grab at THAT when they have the munchies?).

It thaws in a flash in the microwave. Slice it in small rounds, rub with garlic and toast it. Serve with whatever cheese you have on hand or get out the good flavored olive oil and dip it.

Serve with a few black/green olives and a glass of decent wine. Imagination goes along way when topping toasted bread slices so grab whatever you have on hand and you'd be amazed at what you can come up with. All my friends think I'm very continental when I serve this stuff but I don't tell them how easy it is and FAST!

They live with what I have. If they stop by unannounced, they shouldn't expect fine catering when they arrive.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
