to Senior Daughter's house we go.

She sets the table and her husband does everything else. Believe me, it's
better that way.

Did you not teach Senior Daughter to cook? :-)))

Oh, I tried, God knows I tried, until I realized she is domestically
impaired. But she (wisely) married someone who really knows his way around a
kitchen.

=============================

Heaven bless that couple!

Sadly, MY Daughter cannot cook. Except for: grilled cheese
sandwiches, mac & cheese (box) and crock pot lasagna (only assembly
required).

Her (otherwise perfect) fiance can make: frozen pizza and crockpot
pot roast (with dry onion soup mix).

They had to call the fire department when he tried Hamburger Helper.

Some folks just aren't meant to cook. <sigh> At least Senior Daughter has
a good match!

Tsk tsk, Wayne. Having read your posts over the years I know you can cook,
Felice. Some folks just aren't good at it and your daughter shouldn't be
chided for it. My mother was kitchen impaired, too. Both of my
grandmothers were great cooks. (My dad was very good at it, too, when he
wasn't busy fighting a war someplace.) If I'd taken cooking lessons from my
mother I'd still be buying Freezer Queen entrees and using Minute Rice. (My
mother took the path of least resistance.) I say if your daughter married
someone who knows his way around a kitchen, that's great! Enjoy your
Thanksgiving day. It doesn't really matter who cooks, does it?

It seems to skip a generation in our family, too. Grandma did, mother
didn't, I do, daughter doesn't! Is it a recessive gene or something? Either
way, I'll enjoy the feast.You, too.

My mother and both grandmothers were wonderful cooks, but my mother's two
sisters were probably more like your mother, Jill, if that good. :-)

I'm sure Felice will have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and it really doesn't
matter who does the cooking.

I do all the cooking here, but she's the St for sticking with me :-)

Opposites attract, she's a St, I'm spawn of the Devil ;-)
