The Quilt Inn Country Cookbook

Hostess Dishes
It’s a tradition in most country communities that a wake follows a funeral.
Because the grief-stricken family is usually in no state of mind or preparation to
entertain large numbers of guests, it’s also tradition that everyone brings one of their
own family dishes for the guests at the wake and for the family to use in the days
thereafter until life goes back to a semblance of being normal.
These easy-to-prepare hostess dishes are just as handy for happier
occasions, such as “Welcome to the neighborhood” get-togethers, “Congratulations
on the new baby” events, quilting parties, or just pot luck suppers, whenever family
and friends get together to share food and love. These dishes can often be made at
a moment’s notice from what ever is in the refrigerator and are also good for “second
day” meals, using leftovers from the dinner the day before, making them
economical. Don’t be afraid to substitute ingredients. These recipes are not written
in stone, or even on a crusty roll!
