[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][…] My mom came at 3:30, which would be ok but she brought an unsolicited side dish (no big deal), a fruit she didn't need at her house and thought we might like (sure but not right now, let's put it in the crisper), flow to put in a vase (nice thought but kinda a pain to get a vase down […]and a belt she didn't want anymore but thought I might like […] This happens every year we host and I don't know how to fix it...ask her to come early, do more in advance, etc. all seem impractical. I just need to get over it but it is so annoying![/quote]

Yes, ask her to come early! If she declines, deal only with what absolutely must be dealt with ATM (i.e., “Mom, I can’t put the flowers in a vase right now; can you put them in the fridge?”)

[quote=Anonymous]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.[/quote]

I seem to remember that the trick to this jello salad is pouring it from the preparatory vessel into the mold by pouring it on the back of a spoon so it just [i]gently[/i] touches the surface of the previous layer.

And to the PP who couldn’t get the Charlie Brown movie - check your local library and/or your local PBS affiliate’s online offerings.

I have no real grievances this year, but I will be full of them next year when we have to return to “regular” holidays. I guess my mentally ill sister wished that my husband and children would die a day after Thanksgiving, so that was a bit of unnecessary drama. [/quote]
