Honey loves tuna casserole. The only time she got up on the table, we found her looking longingly at the dish, but she’s too good a puppy to knock it on the floor. She got a bit before we put it away. So did the other two mutts, can’t give just one of them a treat.
When my wife was sick, everyone brought us meals, for which we were very grateful, but remembering whose dishes needed to be returned to whom was a nightmare. We learned to always give meals to sick friends in throw-away containers.
I grew up with this “Pluggerism” and continued it into my adulthood. I am not a cook so I would return the container with either a gift or a card. It was just a tradition, but I do not know the origin of this tradition.
No one ever gives us food on plates, in containers or otherwise.
When (in back in the normal times) my embroidery chapter had the annual June end of meeting year “tea party” I would get my plate back empty – and if any of the turkey “finger sandwiches” were left on it I would offer them to the hostess as I did not want them back. (Turkey sandwich – makes sure there is something I can/I will eat there.) They are having the party again this year – I am not ready to go to the meetings in a large meeting room, let alone go into the small rooms of the house.

we sure? I at times am given Tapperware-like containers full of something from my parents and I return them fresh from the dishwasher empty.

We did that even before we were pluggers! Most of our plugger friends now are dead, anyway.

Pluggers are more aware and more deeply appreciative of each other. At least around my town..

I’ve never understood this rule. Why do someone a kindness if they have to pay it back?

Or at least clean with a small gift.

On Friday back in the day, being Catholic you couldn’t eat meat. So I have had tuna in a casserole and with pasta and any other way you can use it.

And you say “Yum!” to the tuna casserole — even if you hate it (Farside99).
