  I try to bring a big bowl of seasonal fruit–or, in summer, a fruit salad of melons, stone fruits (especially plums, nectarines, and cherries), grapes, kiwifruit, and blueberries (and possibly blackberries). It nicely counterbalances all the richness of most of the other dishes.

  I love bringing a pasta antipasto salad.

• momaphet  on  August 27, 2016

  I like to bring fruit crisps using what ever is in season, though apple always works. they're delicious, homey, and easy to transport, and whenever possible whipped cream to top it (the real stuff no Cool Whip in this house)
