Who eats pasta on Thanksgiving??
My weird as hell sister, that's who. I'm looking at a 16lb turkey and a 12lb prime rib and then saw a pan of sauce on the stovetop so I asked my mother (the chief cook) "Why are you making sauce today?" "Because your sister won't eat any of the real food I've made." was her reply.
She's an on again/off again vegetarian so today she's decided that the traditional meal is unacceptable but there's meatballs in the sauce so, I have no idea.
She's always been an oddball. Thank god she's pretty.
PITY! Your "WAH" sister can manage her own life. I can understand some of these thoughts. MILLIONS of turkeys have been slaughtered for our "holiday" and so have millions of pigs. A lot of us care a lot about this issue and I'll bet
If you invited me to your ''Thanksgiving" feast,
I'd quietly bring a dish for myself and possibly 4 more vegans.
Growing up "Southern," I've been taught that a guest is always welcome and that I'll do everything I can to make him/her comfortable....including food.
Why on earth would anyone want to have a dinner with people who don't want to actually have dinner? I mean, if she doesnt want the food, she can come over later. Im not sure if im more horrified that your mom is willing to pacify that whiny brat, or that your sister thinks she has the right to expect your mom to cook separately for her. I could totally understand having some consensus about the food during normal family dinners, but the whole point of thanksgiving is cooking particular types of food in accordance with myths about US history. Your sister should suck it up and go somewhere else. PS i hope shes vegetarian, except then shell throw a fit and your mom will cry.
Ok rant over, back to dealing with my own family.
