Food & Drink - 28 December 2006

Yesterday I asked about what to take to a potluck and many people said bring a cold salad. The host is already making a salad, so I was thinking a fruit salad and perhaps set it up in disposable cups so it looks presentable. Here's the catch: the host told me to bring a side dish and another guest is already bringing a cake as a dessert. Can fruit salad be counted as a side dish and a dessert, or should I pick something else?

The emphasis is not on the dinner, but on a gift exchange and the whole family being together. Everyone has already had ham for Christmas. I'm not a great cook. Ages are from 14 months to 67 years. Two members are not big meat eaters but can be tempted if it's good.

My bag of brown sugar gets hard after a little while. What should I do to prevent this from happening? Does anyone know why this happens only to brown sugar and NOT to white sugar?

I have rather a lot of pork pie left from Christmas and wondered if it is ok to freeze it. If so, is it any good when it is defrosted?
