Asking for recipe from someone not invited

Is it rude to ask for a recipe from someone who is not invited to a party, when they are sure to find out about the party?  My neighbor asked for one of my recipes, then that evening there were lots and lots of cars in front of the house, and the next day she thanked me, said it worked great.

Should I take offense?

Turn off the television and teach your children how to think.

Well, I think it can be construed as rude but it would depend upon the circumstances.

If she invited all of the neighbors and you were the only one not invited, then it was definitely rude.

But if the party consisted of only her family members or her co-workers (and you are neither), then it's not so much a question of rudeness as it is bad timing.

I'd let it go, for now. If you feel you were slighted, just don't share any more of your recipes with her!
