It's just a claim. She might LIKE to cook but nothing ever sounds like anyone
would go back for seconds or come to her house again for a meal.

Yes, many members of the family are gone but there's younger folks who love
the family gatherings as much as the ones that are dead.

Sorry to read that about your brother-in-law and I hope he's not suffering.

We're sure he's feeling no pain, hospice makes sure of that.

Who actually slices a turkey (or a roast, for that matter) IN THE PAN?
It needs to rest for a bit before carving. On a cutting board. Usually
tented with foil. But hey, we know she doesn't like touching meat. And
this was pre-cooked turkey, just a reheat, so I doubt there would have
been much in the way of drippings for making gravy.

Burned bottoms, scorched tops. At least they were not the main focus of

What's to obsess about? She posts here constantly about cooking brown
rice and let's not forget b-e-a-n-s.

My supper will be a ham and mushroom quiche; it's in the oven as I write.
And no, there won't be any pictures.

For us, we dropped by 1 then grew by one since I posted. I doubt we
have more than 15 this year (includes us 3). All neighbors which makes
it different from a 'family gathering' but we like it.

The Ethan Allen table (got off freecycle, small puppy teething issues
fixed) seats 10 easy then the Japanese 'sit on the floor' handles 6
with ease or 6 kids and 4 adults. I have another table that can seat 6
if cozy. After that, we bring out the other 2 coffee tables and sit on
the floor around them (6 roomy on the smaller one and 8 close by on the
larger one). As you can see, can handle 30+ here. Only once did we
have near that and it was several years ago.

Grin, picking on me are you? Well, we like rice and are used to it.
Family turns it's nose up at brown though I like it well enough.

We like the pepperidge herb dressing. Since we don't make stuffing
more than 3-4 times a year, this works for us. We doctor it up a bit
with mushrooms and such.

Shockers for you but we do that (jarred). Gravy making is something I
can do a bit, but mine isn't better. You don't build much on a skill
set, if you only do it 2-3 times a year. The rest of the time is a
packet sort of brown with curry (not something started with drippings
and flour etc.)

If you are referring to me... The only ones getting rice tonight are the

I did that for years, nice modern equipment, industrial dishwashers etc. I
miss those kitchens and the walk in fridge and freezer. They have changed
the menus in schools a whole lot.

They sure did here! Our elementary school had no cafeteria. We had a lunch
cart that went to the various foyers. I worked the lunch cart, either
serving or taking money but I also helped out in the kitchen. In those days,
many things were made from scratch.

Now? I don't think much is made from scratch at all. Canned ravioli, corn
dogs, chicken nuggets. They do have a salad bad. The portions are tiny but
they have to be because lunch is only 20 min. and that includes getting the
lunch. The elementary school where Angela went had no cafeteria or even a
kitchen although there was some room with a fridge and freezer. They kept
some ice cream and applesauce in there. So food choices were limited. Salad
bar daily. Otherwise the food came on Styrofoam trays, dished up elsewhere.
It was beyond pathetic. She packed her lunch. Now there is a kitchen and
cafeteria.

Not any healthier, IMO. At least the food was made somewhat made from
scratch in my day. Canned vegetables, fruit and pudding. There was Jell-O,
ick. Potatoes were likely instant. We did have Wiener Winks. A hot dog
wrapped in dough. Also ick. Fish sticks on Fri. Those likely came frozen.
The Chow Mein might have come from a can. I don't think the rice was
instant. I didn't like most of the meals but I did like the hamburger gravy
over mashed potatoes. Also the tacos. Those were crisp taco shells filled
with refried beans and baked. The end result was anything but crisp.

Now? Here's the menu:

I see that yogurt lunch is available almost daily. It's likely a sweetened
yogurt with a bit of fruit and some sickly sweet granola. How convenient for
them! Or maybe not as there is a yogurt parfait listed. What I don't see is
very many veggies listed. In my day at least we always got veggies. At least
they have refrained from the breakfast for lunch which was often a waffle or
pancake on a stick.

Grin, no to any of that. We eat rice probably 5 times a week here
though. Not for cost reasons but because we like it and it's fast to
make. Don was in Hawaii 8 years then us both in Japan for 7. Adds up
to rice as a main side. It no odder though than those who have
potatoes every day or bread every day.
