Re: What are you excited about, F!S?

See, I'm a super picky person when it comes to food, so Thanksgiving for me is:

5+ hours of cooking food I'm not going to eat
2+ hours of sitting around a table looking at food that I'm not eating
2+ hours of washing dishes and storing food that I didn't eat

One year, a car hit a local power line and our whole street lost power for the day. No one could cook anything, so we all just sat around and relaxed. BEST. THANKSGIVING. EVER.

Woahhhhhhhh that stinks! Yeah, I can imagine the holiday would be less enjoyable in that case. I suppose there isn't any way you can shift the menu a little closer to your tastes?

Okay, so I admit, I've gotten a bit better at being a fly on the wall. Cooking still starts between 10am-noon and goes until 4pm-5pm, but I think I've finally been able to make the argument that I don't eat most of what's getting cooked, so I take care of the biscuits... and setting the table... and they'll usually try to rope me into a couple of other things, but I am so terrible and slow that they usually take the ingredients straight back and do it themselves.

It's also helped that my sister got married three years ago and her mother-in-law comes over now is a SUPER HUGE cook. Like a "get out of the kitchen, I'll do everything myself" cook.

Which is good and bad, because it's less work for me, but at the same time she's even less cognizant of my eating habits than my family is.

I tend to eat non-gravy turkey, biscuits, and corn (when I was little, I didn't even eat the turkey). That is my thanksgiving. Usually we have about 12+ other dishes. So... yeah.

2+ hour conversations are okay. 2+ hour clean up still sucks though.
