In that case, your cooking for guests must suck in the first place.
My house guests have been only too enthusiastic over taking stuff home.
I know they like my cooking when they go back for seconds! I always
cook extra and extra goes in proper containers on the table in front of
them so they can serve themselves before it becomes "leftovers".

And leftovers are never "thrust" upon guests. Merely offered.

Yesterday, it was grilled chicken, turkey and beef. The mushrooms and
shrimp got wiped out right away. We are talking immediate family members
tho'. And there is not a damned thing wrong with refrigerated left over
clam dip! I've been noshing on what was left here all morning long with
celery sticks and radish roses. They only took a small portion of what
was left of that that sis' felt they could consume in a couple of days.

Not everybody is in to wasting food Sheldon!

I'm glad that you enjoy your crows and ravens. Many idiots shoot them.
I love to hear the crows calling around here. They did not used to hang
out in this area and are now becoming more populous.
