I called Robert at 4 pm aks him where are you. and why aren't you here already (as he was bringing eggs as well) Got lots of excuses and said he would try to be in by 5 Really, fine then do NOT bring in the eggs as I wouldn't have time to cleans,sort and package them PLUS have dinner ready for 6 pm. He shows up about 5:30 with the eggs, I take the eggs to the dumpster and about took him there as well. Got into a huge argument. I won !!!!!! next time he pulls that crap he will be wearing the eggs. He know's damnn well if he is bringingin eggs to do be an hour earlier then normal. AND after I have gotten up early to attend 8 am mass so he wouldn't have to be in so I could attend 10 am service. So 6 pm shows up dinner is on the table and now sherry or her hubs. Call them OH I thought you said 6:30 NOPE even idiot Robert knew it was 6. But after dinner we played cards and had a good time.

I have the opposite problem. My dinners are always late. Family knows they have a little leeway with arriving on time. Of course they only live about 10 minutes away. I hate being the only one to do the big dinners. It's either me or we go out or we don't celebrate.

IT WAS A HIT the main thing is being with Family and them enjoying the food/company no matter what you made

LOL we usually end up waiting on the taters and it doesn't matter what kind I make. We were brought up to be at least 1/2 hour a head of the dinner time when invited somewhere. To visit, offer help or what even. NOT to show up at the door and sit right down at the table. VERY RUDE in my little world.

Maybe if some people helpers volunteered, you could be more ambitious. I'm all for easy, though. It should be more about visiting than food anyway.

Yes. With extended family or out of towners, we do that too. Mostly it's just my dad, sis, and brother, all local, all living alone.

has anyone ever heard of boiling a ham ??

That's what sherrie's Sis-in-law did /served a whole boiled ham, guess it was dry, The sat did not go well the had a family meeting do discuss Earlene's beingin the home and what not HUGE fight lots of drama and what not. Robert's ex the evil Sheila is Sherries younger sister and they are both Earlene's daughters.

I have heard of it, but didn't think people actually boiled them. Seems strange. ??? Maybe for soup!

 

[twisted-acres-farm]

For me with a big meal I truly appreciate a little help getting the food on the table and then with all the dishes afterwards. Otherwise stay out of the kitchen. LOL it isn't big enough for two all the dogs are trained to NEVER go in the kitchen if I am in there. Mainly for safety. nothing like tripping over a dog when you have a kettle full of something boiling hot and then trip.

I will "boil" the bone for soups and such but that is after I have eaten/trimmed all the meat I can off the bone.
