Different how? How did the food turn out?
Michael can grill easy! You're so cute. Can you believe I'm all unpacked and laundry done from Vegas and started packing again?
Looks like you're getting some rain. Rain rain rain before I get there.
Hope you had a safe flight.
Well lets see,
First off there was a ton of unrestrained testosterone. My Dad is usually a pretty quiet guy, but my BIL and niece's BF were tossing around football insults all day.
I was not allowed to cook a thing. They relished in keeping me completely in the dark. Finally I pryed the menu out of my sister. They didnt start cooking anything other than the turkey until maybe a couple hours before dinner, so it didnt "feel" like thanksgiving. Then I heard my BIL say that the thermometer "pegged" when he stuck it in the turkey. I assume that meant it was overdone.
They also don't like a lot of foods. Mushrooms and tomatoes are forbidden in their house. My BIL said he would make an exemption when I arrived with a couple trays of caprese skewers that I made in my hotel room.
My BIL made only enough gravy to fill a small gravy boat so no leftover gravy.
Then when dinner was served the kids table was the couch and the "big kids" whined that they should be allowed to sit in front of the game.
My nephews have been raised by electronic babysitters so they have no social skills. The older one has asbergers and all he wants to do is sit in front of a computer and play video games.
Nothing was horrible, it was just different than my normal thanksgiving.
If Michael doesn't mind grilling, I'll have everything ready for him. I make great tasting burger patties, stuffed with cheese!
I am so sick of the rain! After Seattle I wanted my sunny so cal. Haven't seen it yet. We're floating away!
