Dear Abby,
Recently, after my thanksgiving dinner, a relative made a comment to me "well, we all know you can't cook".
I was floored and named meals I've cooked this last year- meals this relative ate with abandon.
My question is this~ should I bother cooking Christmas dinner for this particular relative? If I say there's no meal, they will likely eat Chinese take out and I will eat alone.

definitely invite them - you eat the hens and feed them a tin of bakedbeans, saying you know they don't like your cooking.....

Invite them and tell them to bring a dish as a contribution to the meal, then they can only half whinge :).
Is their bluntness a part of a personality disorder or are they just rude and ungrateful??

Invite them and as they go to take their first mouthful whip the plate out from
under their face and feed buck their meal. Tell them you just remembered
they don't like your cooking.

...Tell them you're doing a "theme", this season, just for fun.
It's "Bring Your Favorite Takeout".
Cook for everyone else.

When I was at the store earlier, so many things were not available or I grabbed the last one left.
For instance, butter. Gone. Wiped out.
I got the 2nd to last onion.
I've never seen it like that.

It's unseasonably warm. I haven't run the heater in two days.
Shorts for Christmas! Nah, then I'd have to shave my legs 😩.

It's because I have fomerly... estranged... family close to me, now. We had some HORRIFIC HOLLERDAZE TOGETHER, previously... & we're SO MUCH BETTER, now. Don't think I'd have it wif'out y'all. |
