Thanksgiving 2021 Grievances Thread

[Anonymous]

Step right up, and complain about your family, the food, the location or whatever else your issues are regarding Thanksgiving. I'll go first.

I accidentally spent $66 on dinner rolls and bread for Thanksgiving. If this is how the rest of next week is going to go, I may need to transfer money out of savings and into checking.

How much bread did buy for $66? 😮

There is not going to be any 7-layer jello this year because Aunt Carol is going elsewhere, and I am bereft. I love that jello.

Ooh, do you have a recipe? I mean, I guess you don’t or you would make it.

We go to my in-laws every year for Thanksgiving and usually get there around noon, but this year for some reason we can't come before 1:00. Football starts at 12:30 and I'm irrationally irritated that I am going to miss the first half hour of the game. Why? The Lions are absolutely terrible, they haven't won a game all year, but I don't care. I'm from Detroit and t's my thing.

18 mini croissants that will be made that morning and two cranberry almond loaves.

This sounds miserable.

WTF? That was $66? Are they gold plated?

Family is here already (which is fine because we love them) but two of the four are down with fevers of 103+. Ughhh. Yes, they are all vaccinated against covid and flu. I hope my family doesn’t get sick.

I do know how to make it, but the layers have to be applied at 3-hour intervals so it's kind of a project.

But I suppose you could do it over two days, right? Leave the 4-layer jello overnight and continue in the morning?

This jello is so frustrating. I tried to carry on the tradition and just could not get it right. I applied the next layer too soon and got breakthrough or too late and they didn't stick together. I don't know what the secret is these old Aunties have mastered. I normally don't have problems following recipes.

I think not because if too much time elapses the layers don't stick together and it will fall apart when you cut it.
