'Potential'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
What do you make, Jessica, and how do you change it up? What's your ultimate dinner goal?
This year would have been the ultimate victory (duck instead of turkey at Thanksgiving) if we'd had the chance to gather, but mostly it's been a subtle shift away from dairy-heavy white foods and towards a wider variety of vegetables. (Nobody likes creamed onions, Dad! They don't make good leftovers!)
Agile works better than anything else, IME (which is 20+ years in the tech world mostly as a writer). You just have to be real flexible about what it means and be all up in everyone's business.
Did anyone ever like creamed onions? My paternal grandmother used to make them, and they just sat there, sort of solidifying into a big gloopy mess in their bowl.
We used to do turkey for both Thanksgiving and Christmas until I convinced my mother that this was one turkey too many, and too close together. We do a filet now, which is so much better. My dad still insists on pumpkin pie at both, though.
It's not even really micromanaging, it just feels like it. I am ridiculous.
Pumpkin pie whenever possible is a good policy

PREACH.
I do not know what creamed onions are, and I don’t think I want to know.
After Mom married Stepdad we started having Thanksgiving with Stepdad’s family, and one year we ended up eating it at a rest buffet. I threw such a fit that mom ended up making a small Thanksgiving dinner the next week, and I don’t think we ever did the restaurant Thanksgiving again. I was a teenager at the time.
ltc did not like the pumpkin pie, but she loved the apple pie.
Oh yes, I should mention that my "replace the heavy white starches with roast veggies" strategy has as its ultimate goal More Room For Pie.
Y’all it’s a Christmas miracle. I’m in a training that is actually well planned and helpful. Where am I?!
