Miss Manners: Hosts should not dictate what their dinner guests bring

DEAR MISS MANNERS: People want to feel loved and cherished. An invitation to share a meal in your home is a special example. So when dinner guests ask me what they can bring, I tell them something specific: “Oh, I would love some pink peonies. Those would be so beautiful.” Or I might request a bottle of maple syrup, or a recipe card for the wonderful cookies the guest baked on a previous visit.
