Guest guest Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 That just cracked me up. I would do anything is avoid one of his Christmas parties, good thing about it. He usually didn't give me a problem because he couldn't stand the crew either. The food needed to be banned.....uber lamers! I love that.

We usually manage to avoid those situations too. Otherwise, if it's a full-course meal or banquet, it's easy enough to 'eat around'. Give me a veg, a starch, a beverage, and I'm happy. I do feel though, in this day and age where more people are cutting down on meat consumption, that it's rude not to offer at least some meatless options (thinking about that awful party PT (?) attended where even the stuffed jalapenos contained meat — ugh!). > > My family is very cool with vegetarianism, especially having faced high-cholesterol issues in recent years.

He fires up the grill (he even designated a veg-only side where no meat is ever cooked — I wuv him), and we offer veggies, pasta salad or tamales, etc., so no one goes away hungry. > > > i don't contact the host/hostess about dietary choices. i just make > > sure i eat something before i go... > > I've done this too -- it's a great anxiety reducer. > > Nancy > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
