Oh silly husband
So H just called me and this is how our convo went.
H: Hey I need you to make something for the cruise party tonight.
Me: Um ok like a dessert or an appetizer?
H: No more like a main course. Dont you have some bar b cue or something like that in the freezer you can whip together?
Me: Seriously?! How many people are we talking?
H: :naming people and counting: I dont know somewhere between 10-18. That pulled pork bbq you make would be good.
Me: You mean the one that takes 8 hrs to cook and the party is at 7pm?!?!
H: Well I dont know.... think of something. Oh and call my mother first to make sure she isnt making something.
Me: Yeah sure hon Ill just whip something up out of thin air. Noooo problem.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr guess who is now going to the grocery store.
Re: Oh silly husband
my response would have been: "hahahahahahaha! woo! that's a good one!" {click}
tell him to go to KFC and pick up a couple buckets. and yeah, "call your mom yourself."
girl, i would nip this type of treatment in the bud real quick.
Ugh, men just don't think things through, do they?!? Gah!

MD- you crack me up, but I wish I would have read your comment before I left to go shopping. I never thought of fried chicken!
The pulled pork was out of the question b/c I didnt have any of the ingredients here. It was almost 12 before I was ready to leave the house and it has to cook for 8 hours on low in the crock pot. I thought about still doing it and put the crock pot on high for 4 hrs but I wasn't sure how it would turn out and Ill be damned if I look like I can't cook b/c of his lack of preparation.
So I bought ready cooked meatballs, through them in the crock pot, poured spaghetti sauce over them and calling it meatball subs. I also picked up the stuff to make hot spinach and artichoke dip.
What really pisses me off is I was off all day yesterday and didnt even leave the house. If he would have told me yesterday I would have everything ready to go. My original plan for today was to make red velvet whoppie pies (red velvet is H's favorite) and take them tonight but he can forget that!!
As for his mom, she is the one that wanted to have this stupid planning party to begin with. Its being held at her house so I assumed she'd have the food for it and I'd bring a dessert like I mentioned. I called her and of course she didnt answer. So here's to hopping she didnt go all out on food.
Ditto!!!!!!!
I would have laughed at him.
woah woah woah....this party isnt even at your house?! he asked you to make dinner for 15 people for a party his MOTHER is throwing?! you're a better woman that me....i would have seriously thrown down and been like, bwahahhaha funny stuff! good luck wiht that.
hahaha
This is where it gets complicated. He is the travel agent putting together this Alaskan Cruise. So we are going to make $$$$$$ off of the 15 people. I dont mind the cooking for 15 people part even if it is at his mothers I just want some freaking notice. His parents were AMAZING to me after the surgery. They took me back to their house and waited on my hand and foot for 3 days. My father never even called to check on me. So I feel like I am in debt to these people.
Usually how these parties work is they rotate which house they will be at. Then odd address bring an app and even address a dessert. Then they switch the next time. I'm not sure why he didnt do it like this.
I would laugh in the boys face if he did that to me. I have a hard enough time making dinner for myself, forget 15 people.
I guess if you're making money off of the guests you should probably provide food though. Glad you thought of something to throw together.
