Christmas Rant ******

[FarmerChick]

after 12 hrs of cooking, I think they will forgive the fact you had to cut corners on the pie and used canned!

the apple crumbcake pie sounds delish. the crumbcake part I bet was yummy. I love that crumbly stuff..LOL

unfortunately, my dieting this month is all down the tubes. The past 2 weeks I've put on 15 lbs

Boyd, I didn't read all the five pages of this thread but I hope you do recant your first rant and "take the "high" road... it is soooo very important to maintain the (biological family) contact and often the only time that comes up is indeed on important holidays... ok, they missed the party, come home to cold food and the "get-together" present opening and it WILL hit home (if they don't go their imagination of how it would have been at their biological family get together and the eventual psych. implications of having been forced to "choose" can all be avoided this way)... being there/stability/ > that is your special gift and believe me it will not go unnoticed...
(((hugs)))

That explains why you're having problems. Canned pumpkin pie has been the downfall of many relationships.

Boyd I know how you feel. We went to my sisters house yesterday for a Day after Christmas brunch, everyone was there and having a good time. Well, my nephew who is 17 and is her son couldn't even come downstairs to say hi to us. He didn't eat with us or thank us for the gifts that had been dropped off in advance of Christmas. Next thing I know, my darling sister his mother is bringing him up a plate. He wasn't even there, he had left to go play football without even saying a thing. I could not believe it, and I could not believe how my sister can allow that type of behavior. If he was my son, I would be fit to be tied! The worse thing is he never even said a thing to my mother, I can't believe my sister has such a disrespectful unappreciative son. My mother has just been diagnosed with breast cancer, and he can't even come down to thank her for the gift and wish her a Merry Christmas!!

to him and my sister both!

140....hmmm....that seems very low to me.


remember one thing, no matter "what chart" they compare people too.....everyone has that good weight regardless of the chart..LOL

take off a bit of the holiday weight and you will be fine. Hey not like we cook and eat like this all the time right?

PS--love the shades on the boy!! cool
