Missed yesterday's SED post on accident, because I was dragged by Groom to an end-of-year dinner for his music colleagues, and we had a big fight about nothing (Groom and me, not the colleagues) right outside the hall, and then I tried to eat all-vegetarian fare at the buffet when really I wanted to grab that greasy bucket of fn KFC out of someone's hands and glom onto all the delicious white breast meat, but I was good and ate lentil salad and beans and the last of some cheese-based dish and tried to stuff myself, which is not easy with lentils! try it some time! and then I slid out of my chair and went to the loo when the group started singing some dumb thing to the tune of Auld Lang Syne, then Groom and I semi-made up on the ride home, or rather agreed not to fight about whatever it was anymore, and I was exhausted when we got home so I went right to bed.

Tonight I will make up the lapse with a second post, probably a recipe, NOT lentil salad!

LOL!! Wait... someone had a greasy bucket of KFC at a buffet?

[stgulik.livejournal.com]

Yes! Buffets are always like that. Person A brings a beautiful, homemade dish she worked on for hours; Person B slaps down a bucket of chicken she bought along the way.

Oh! That makes sense. I was thinking catered buffet. The actual description sounds like... well, every family reunion I've ever been to. LOL!

What, the squabbling, the random food selection, the singing, the wishing you were anywhere else?... yep, that has family reunion written all over it! LOL

Oooo... I hate when that happens! We always do pot luck for Thanksgiving at Aunt Marie's, since she's really old and doesn't cook anymore. I always bring the turkey NOW, so I don't have to worry about someone else showing up with one. But back when Marie would assign various dishes, She gave me the dessert a few times. I would make a pie crust from scratch with some sort of fruit filling that I would also make myself. Then someone else would show up with a store-bought pumpkin pie, "because someone might prefer pumpkin on Thanksgiving." Passive-aggressive much? Fucking people who prefer processed to home-made... they're just not wrapped too tight.

I'm sorry you had such a day. I don't know what's going on with the planetary alignments - there must be something happening. Everyone is having a tough time this week.

for instance, I need to work today. It's 11am and we're still sitting around watching Youtube and Mission:Impossible on Netflix. Eh, it'll get done eventually.

I'm glad you mostly made up. I like lentils, but not for full meals all the time.
