Okay, I'm laughing too, because I'm thinking of how big my purse would have to be!  And how funny it would be for me to drag this piece of luggage to the table!

You guys are funny lol.  I eat what I can, it's just the dang principle of it.  And the fact that it's not just one meal in a day, she wants to do all 3 meals.  It's all just so overwhelming.

Oh great...thanks Scoop!  Now I have a visual of you dragging in one of those backpacks on wheels to the table.

Yes Pam, she could and should.... can't you feel all the love and sympathy we have going for you here :) 

If you were here, I'd make you shrimp on the barbie .. I think that's how they say it in Australia .. we'd follow that with a multitude of meatless side dishes and fermented fruit juice.  I'm leaving dessert to Scoop and Pooh.

yeah but drunk and poisoned I'll bet she balks when Pen comes running over to feed her some of that nasty sounding blood sausage (I'm not even doing a web search for that)

Let's just say it's exactly what it sounds like.  And you better like the Twilight series.....

You ladies are too funny!

Scoop,

I just read this and had to think really hard for the answer. I don't look down at DIL although she may think I do, I wish I knew how she felt, we don't talk, she won't talk to any of us, the little bit that I know about her are things that DS has told me as she wants nothing to do with us, she won't even come around any more. She's a perfectionist in her own way, DS says DIL and I have a lot in common, it could be that we're too much alike, trying to look back, I don't know how things got to where they are now, I never thought we would get to the point of not speaking and DS doesn't know how to handle the situation. 

I'm not sure why your MIL doesn't take under consideration what you guys like to eat, maybe she thinks it's something you guys like but won't make yourselves, we have someone in the family that prepared weird foods like that thinking it was a real treat for everyone that we wouldn't make because it was very time consuming. And why she doesn't have any treats for the grandchildren beats me but I'm sure she's not trying to be mean, maybe she wants them to learn to eat a little bit of everything. I don't know how old your MIL is but back in the days, kids didn't have all the choices they have now, they ate whatever was on the table.

The blood sausage I had wasn't nasty at all. It was light and fluffy, no bloody blood anywhere. The name is gross, I admit.

Pen.. I'm afraid that the name alone would stop me from trying it.  At what type of event did you try this gourmet treat?
