Smells worse than a duck coop?

Smells worse than a billy goat in the fall rut - smells worse than Sasquatch - smells worse than---------------------

Than............ Sunday dinner?

 

[Bunnylady]

Depends - at whose house?

 

[Alaskan]

At my house.

Sunday dinner was a BIG deal - first at my Mom's and later at my MIL's. I wonder if , in this busy world, anyone still does Sunday dinner.

Do you?

We now do giant coffee hour at church.

But, I come from a long line of "all the family plus the priest or minister at the house for Sunday Dinner"

 

[sourland]

Nope, no Sunday dinner here. Daughter and her family live an hour + away, and frankly they are just too darn busy. Son and his family live 3 + hours away. I think that I liked the old world better - when kids stayed close to home.

Quote: I attended more than a few of those growing up (I'm a PK, remember).

But, is that the reason for the putrid Sunday Dinner? Since everybody's going to be getting together, if you do things badly enough, the relatives won't make/let you play host again?

Nah, you do things very badly, on purpose, only when you have house guests that just refuse to leave.


But...the smelly meals come from a long line of forgetful folk.... Dinner is often crisped.

But, my great-great-grandfather always put it so nicely... "This is very well done dear Betty, very well done indeed"

In my childhood I spent many an hour scraping the toast.
