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?!
We did the buffet thing for Thanksgiving the last several years of my parents’ lives. Mom was an excellent cook, but after 30+ years, she was entirely over it. She didn’t even want the fuss and bother of me cooking for the family where she’d feel the need to supervise. I was still in the “free food is good food” phase of early adulthood, so it worked out. Now I like cooking for others, but in non-COVID times that’s just 4-5 meals a year that have to meet other people’s standards. Not a daily grind.
I have had multiple people tell me that if something is properly developed under agile you won't need technical writing because you won't need a manual.
This is one of the reasons I started a whole bootcamp on "how to actually deliver useful stuff."
My son and I bought a duck for Thanksgiving but the DH said NO and bought a turkey and a ham. Turns out turkey and ham and duck is almost enough protein for a 15yo who's weightlifting.
Maybe 4 years ago we went to Medieval Times for Thanksgiving because we thought it was funny.
