Thank you for the confirmation that it's not just me being too demanding. I have been hoping my Thanksgiving cold would make a reappearance in time for this trip or that the weather forecast would be bad, but no such luck!
The cooking thing is just crazy. I would be just as happy cooking my own food, so I can be sure I won't get food poisoning again, but the dish he's told them 'we' are going to prepare is just unsuitable in so many ways.
There's no maliciousness or anything -- he's just sort of oblivious. In his mind, there's this thing I make that's really, really good, so he wants to show off my skills. Or something like that. I think.
I need to remember that he willingly drives my grandparents to and from my family's get togethers. If you add up all the hours of suffering, I suppose it evens out... but it's not like we spend *that* much time with my family.
