Would you ever......

Invite your new family over to your home for Thanksgiving dinner (20 people), refuse to let them bring anything, because you think it is tacky, go to Boston Market, pass that meal off as your own cooking? Oh yea, and you presented this meal to your KOSHER in-laws? The person who did this sees nothing wrong with what she did. She doesn't think the Kosher meal is that big of a deal. (Not my opinion, but the screwball who did this)

I heard this on the radio Friday morning, and was blown away. I should have posted this on Friday, but sadly was busy with work.

What is the craziest thing you have ever done to impress either DH's family or your own?

Re: Would you ever......

  • I wouldn't care so much about buying something and passing it off as your own...but saying it's kosher when it's not is just wrong!
  • it must have been to impress but if it doesnt look like you made it your self then you did that for no reason. I think family wants to help bring stuff so you should let them.

  • From what i heard on the radio, she actually unpackaged everything, threw out the containers, and plated everything to make it look like it was home cooked. I have no idea how she worked around making the home smell like she spent all day cooking.

    I mean, my cousin handles none of the cooking, though we all gather at her place for the holidays. (she has the most room) and my aunt, grandmother, and her in-laws pitch in and bring stuff, i bring dessert, and so do others. That is the sane way to handle the holidays.

  • I think the fact she tried to pass it off as Kosher is the worst part..

  • Agreed. That's just wrong, trying to pass it off like that.

  • i heard this too! whatever about buying it, but the kosher part is ridiculous!
  • Mostly, I'd be embarrassed that people would think my food was as bad as Boston Market.

  • Wow, so many things wrong with this. Of all the places to get food from she went to Boston Market? Then passed it off as Kosher? Whether you're religious or not that's just wrong, that's a serious matter to some people and shouldn't be thrown out of the window like that. For all the trouble she went through she could have actually cooked a really simple TGiving meal. Turkey, stuffing, potatoes and a veggie and you're done. What a loser Stick out tongue

  • what she did is 100% bad- but as for the Kosher part - her own kitchen is not kosher - so nothing she cooks really could ever be kosher.... I have to get kosher meals for doctors all the time - and they can't even be reheated in a regular oven that is not kosher .... so i really don't see how anyone who is TRUE kosher would ever think that her food WAS kosher- unless she said she purchased it from a kosher restaurant.
