Snowbird friends whom we haven't seen in a year are stopping at our home on their way to meet another couple about an hour farther north of us. They are meeting the other couple for lunch at noon. They will be at our home for only an hour, arriving at 10AM and leaving for their lunch engagement around 11AM.
We will get together for a longer visit and a meal in a few weeks. They are stopping now as they have a item for me that they were so kind to buy on a recent trip to Guatemala. Plus they have never seen our home, which we bought 2 years ago.
I am used to offering food whenever we have expected guests...it was how I was brought up (first generation Americans who were poor but always had food for guests). But 10AM is such an odd time.
I am thinking of making some deviled eggs. And I'd like one more plate, but can't think of something else that is make-ahead that would complement the eggs. The wife is a vegetarian (but eats eggs, obviously).
Suggestions would be most welcome!
