WWYD: Never return a plate empty...

Jamaica_Bride

If someone brings a 'treat' to your house and the plate/ dish stays...do you refill it with something yummy when you return it?

 

MH thinks I'm batty ) (and currently baking to return the dish FULL

never heard such a thing!  I always return the plate/dish clean but empty.

I've never heard of that but it seems really nice of you!  maybe next time I will do it!

So, maybe, just maybe MH is right and I am crazy )

Nope, I return a clean empty plate. It's a nice gesture though!

I do this sometimes, I think it is a nice gesture. Unfortunately life gets in the way half of the time and it just goes back clean not full! But I sometimes try to bake something to include when returning - you aren't the only crazy one LOL!

Wow, I've never thought of returning the dish with something else in it.  However, the times that we've received food were times when I was recovering from surgery or when I was on bedrest.  I couldn't have cooked them something in return even if I wanted to.  But true to my Southern roots, I do send a thank you note! ;-)

I don't usually go out of my way to return a plate full. However, if I already have plans to bake I usually fill up their plate when I return it.

I bet people leave plates at your house a lot.  LOL!  I think my mom and step mom should start instituting this policy!

I was told this as well.  I do it all the time.

I always return the dish clean and empty. I've never heard such a thing.

I've never heard of it before either but it sounds like a great idea. 

I think I'll just start leaving random plates at people's houses .

If I don't have any baked goods to return with the plate, I try to have a few nice chocolates or something (like Lindor truffle balls).

That way that plate isn't empty, but I don't have to bake if I don't have  the time.

I have never heard of returning a plate full. I will never again return an empty plate. What a nice idea. Thank you!
