I feel like that is standard practice, Calli, but maybe it isn't actually. I've rarely been a guest anywhere for Thanksgiving, come to think of it.

My family is very clear about the "bring your own containers if you want leftovers" rule. (Although if you *do* arrive without containers, my mom will still fill up ziploc baggies with mashed potatoes or whatever, because she's incapable of sending people home empty-handed, so the "bring your own containers" rule is basically a lie at her house.)

Yeah, I expect to probably take home leftovers (if desired) as a guest, as long as there’s more than a couple servings left—generally for me it’s not like the people who host have huge families that will gobble all the leftovers, so…

Yes, I send away lots of leftovers but may squirrel away some stuffing.

Congratulations on the com[pletion, Epic! Continuing and boosted recovery~ma

Thanks for the update, and yay for that phase being done! Will continue to send bunches of ~ma that it did the trick.

Sending all the tumor shrinkage ~ma your way, Epic. And general recovery ~ma to you.

We always make enough food and folks bring enough food that everyone goes home with food, and we also have leftovers for a few days.

I love the idea of "food swap at Drew and Kristin's!" Nobody goes home with the food they brung.

Timelies all!

I am so tired of "Big City Greens". (Mr. S has been watching it a lot the last few days)
