In response to "she said she was planning to make a separate portion of gravy for me and use vegetarian broth in the stuffing so it's been on her mind." by kare

don't mention it again, but bring something smallish. like, not a single portion, but not enough to feed the whole fam. -- nm

it's just f-ing rude to be all, "oh, you can eat a couple of the side dishes. do NOT bring a main dish that you know you can eat." -- nm - kare Nov 7, 12:02 21
- Make something super delicious just to make them all jealous ... like pumpkin or squash lasange ... for ONE! -- nm - BroDuckJen Nov 7, 12:07 11
  - pumpkin or squash? I thought you said something delicious? -- nm - dogbert Nov 7, 12:09 2
    - if you've never tried it - don't be a Pixie :) -- nm - BroDuckJen Nov 7, 12:16 1
      - you know what is delicious in lasagna? meat - dogbert Nov 7, 12:19
  - oh damn, i just ate the last single serving of butternut squash lasagna last week. i'd frozen a couple and they were awesome. -- nm - kare Nov 7, 12:08 6
    - i'd be tempted to hide something on you so you don't starve, but, sit there at dinner with a half empty plate and 'smile bravely'. - Andie Nov 7, 12:10 5
      - seriously, pregnancy hunger is like nothing else. if i don't eat (and it usually needs to be a balanced meal) i feel *really* sick. - kare Nov 7, 12:14 2
        
        she doesn't want you to get 'hangry' that day. -- nm - Diva Nov 7, 12:17
        
        make more of that lasagne ... if there's too much I'll come eat it :D (it's delicious stuff - had it here at a local restaurant) -- nm - BroDuckJen Nov 7, 12:15
      - heh. tempting. (jeff is just going to let her know that we will be bringing some sort of main dish for me.) - kare Nov 7, 12:12 1
        
        oh no - no you MUST go - and do that imitation of Bill Murray in What about Bob - when he's eating the corn - do it as you eat your own dish that you - BroDuckJen Nov 7, 12:17
  - mmm...lasagna's a good idea. -- nm - Diva Nov 7, 12:08
- totally agreed. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 12:06
- maybe they are planning on making a main dish that you will be able to eat. - sycor Nov 7, 12:05 4
  - she's not. -- nm - kare Nov 7, 12:06 3
    - so she is being passive aggressive? most people I know think of mac and cheese as a side dish at thanksgiving. everything but turkey is a side dish. - amanda Nov 7, 12:08 2
      - i ... think maybe? i honestly haven't decided if she's p/a or just sometimes ... doesn't get it. -- nm - kare Nov 7, 12:10 1
        
        I'm guessing the latter. It sounded less like "YOU MAY NOT BRING ONE" and more like "don't put yourself out." -- nm - Dr.Vermin, just IMO Nov 7, 12:27
- you're pregnant. bring a kare + baby sized portion of whatever main dish you'd like so you'll feel sated. -- nm - Diva Nov 7, 12:05 2
  - and on T-giving, when you show up with it, say you had an insane craving for it. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 12:07 1
    - No way. You bring it and eat it and be done with it. No explanation needed, IMO. - Jim Nov 7, 12:18
