A little (long) holiday story to make you laugh
My ILs are crazy. The longer I know them, the crazier they seem.
The first Thanksgiving we hosted once we got a house of our own, everyone volunteered to bring a dish. Or were assigned a dish to bring (MIL) if they were too flaky to volunteer. MIL was asked to bring rolls & green bean casserole. She brought the Sams Club size can of fruit cocktail & proceeds to open the can & cut up bananas to put in it. MIL & FIL then have a screaming match & verbally abuse their own long-dead ILs over whether one should eat the fruit cocktail before or after the main course. The fruit cocktail & the argument have since become an annual tradition.
Last Thanksgiving DH & I decided to visit other relatives out of town. MIL calls us on Thanksgiving morning to ask if we knew where her turkey roaster was. Umm, no. Why would I know where you put your turkey roaster? Well, you how DH likes to come into our house & take things. Umm, no I don't.
We got her a turkey roaster for Christmas.
Share yours!

My family is a bunch of tukey-eaters on Thanksgiving. DH's family is into ham...and does not like turkey. 2 years ago, my sister announces she's hosting Thanksgiving and proceeds to get upset that I was going to make a ham in addition to her turkey so that my DH could eat some meat.
It was a good thing I had the ham. We had dinner, we watched football, we had dessert, we went for a walk, we watched more football and by the time we left...the turkey STILL was not cooked all the way through.
She's trying again this year....my mom offered to also make a roast. HA!
