[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I make a macaroni and cheese that ppl in my family love, MIL included. She asked me if I would make it for thanksgiving dinner. I said ok. Asked her if I could make it at her house and she agreed, and even offered to get the groceries needed for it. Dh and I get over to her house, she tells me that "the groceries are over on the counter, but the mixing bowls, casserole dish etc are dirty and You should wash them."

I found this incredibly rude. I'm Not your maid! [/quote]

Jesus Christ on a cracker. If she's hosting then cut her some slack it's a big job cooking a thanksgiving meal.  Sometimes you run put of clean bowls or dishes. Are you too much of a princess to clean the table or do dishes after the meal too?[/quote]

The op explained down thread that mil didn't actually cook anything. Big difference.[/quote]

The dishes got dirty somehow. Somebody was cooking in that house.  Either that or she just has a really gross kitchen with dirty dishes that lay around in the sink for days and days before they are washed. If that's the case, be glad that she ordered food from someplace else.[/
I think if you ask someone to make something for you in your home, you should have the decency to have the dishes they need clean. Or wash them yourself...don't ask someone else to wash your dirty dishes. Rude and gross![/quote]

Having made Thanksgiving dinner myself I realize how many dishes get used in the preparation of the meal.  You may find that you wind up using every casserole dish that you have and that you might have to transfer one casserole into a serving dish in order to free up the casserole dish for baking. So, yes, I can absolutely see how you might need to wash a dish before it could be used.  And I just don't see the big deal of having to do so.  It's called helping out, kwim?

Same comment as above- the mil didn't make or cook  or prep anything!!

She likely put the ordered food into serving dishes though to heat up later.  [b]My guess is she had to empty one of those dishes into another container[/b] in order to free up a dish for Op's casserole.  No big deal.  Or at least it shouldn't have been.[/quote]

oooooooo had to empty a dish into another container....on thanksgiving! what hard work. [/quote]
