Swearing that next year we're going on vacation and then never going
So much this.
Every year, it's "never again!!!!" But here we are. Again.
Amen.
We made it two Thanksgivings without seeing my FIL/SMIL. Three years later and they're coming over. At least I'm prepared for how horrible its going to be. My strategy is going to be to pretend its not Thanksgiving. If its not special in my head, then I won't be disappointed when it actually happens.
If it's with the ILs, a wasted FIL that ultimately leads to him crying/puking.
Eta: Seriously. Last Tday he spent the evening drinking heavily, crying, and lamenting his choices in life. He had to be cut off because he was freaking out my child. My house. My rules. I am thankful that this year my ILs are not in town and we are simply having friends over.
My MIL, her sister, her friend and her bf are going to so mad when we turn this off for the football games this year. We only have 1 TV. My house, my rules!
GURL. I tried this recipe last night (with collards only) sooooo good!
Oh shit that looks delicious. I hate the chopping part that comes with making collards but I love to have mine finely chopped. Then add hot pepper vinegar.
I cheated and picked up a bag of pre-washed and chopped collards at the Wally World. I'm telling you - you need to make this! There wasn't an single green left in the pot yesterday. Check this - no one added hot sauce. That's how serious these greens are.
