[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like I am an outlier, but I would NEVER EVER ask my Thanksgiving guests to eat off a disposable plate. This is one of a very few big holidays during the year. [b]Most of us have  happy childhood memories of Thanksgiving with parents and grandparents no longer with us[/b], and I bet you ate off of a real plate. My saddest Thanksgiving ever was as a 30-something singleton as a guest of extended family who had gone to very little effort and, yes, made me eat off a paper plate. Cutting the turkey with a plastic knife was tricky.

OP, I am really curious, not trying to be snarky. Why would you offer to host 25 people on a holiday if you do not want to do the work of cleaning up? I understand those who do not cook well catering the meal, but please just borrow some extra dishes and cutlery.[/quote]

Exactly. When I think of my happy childhood memories of Thanksgiving, I think of my family and friends who were there. I don't think about what kind of plate I ate off.[/quote]

I completely agree with this. [/quote]
