This, my friends, is what folks like me (ie, housewives who don't cook and rarely clean) call a serious crisis situation. It's why I live 150 miles from my nearest relatives and do my best not to make a whole lot of friends. Significantly cuts down on drop-ins, you know.
My amazing younger sisters would have breakfast casseroles, fruit salads, homemade cinnamon rolls and blueberry crumble spread out on every surface that wasn't already taken up by the fine china and sterling silver for Sunday morning. My amazing older sister would treat everyone to lunch at Macon's equivalent of the St. Pete Yacht Club on Saturday afternoon.
I just emailed my cousin and told her to pick up a sandwich before she comes to visit.
Oh, well. At least my kids are pretty cute, and at least one of them is well-behaved. That's all I got, people, and it'll have to do.
SO many reasons why we're friends. This is a good one.

ReplyDeleteare you kidding me? i was super impressed by hummus and waldorf chicken salad!!
ReplyDeleteHave I told you that my husband's mother, sister, her husband, and two 20-something boys are coming to MY house for Thanksgiving this year? This has NEVER happened in our married life of almost 25 years. We always go to other people's houses and I rarely bring anything - I just figured if I wash all the dishes, then I was off-the-hook on the "cooking" thing.
ReplyDeleteSo what is a housewife like me, who doesn't cook and rarely cleans, to do? I am ordering from S&S and Jeaneane's and any other place I can find that makes delicious, homemade-tasting take out meals. :) Happy Thanksgiving! -Susan Douglas
