[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Plain. Dry spaghetti. How hospitable! Not passive aggressive at all.

Earth balance vegan butter is not bad. Maybe get an acorn squash to roast and green beans with vegan butter and lemon. Sautéed mushrooms with garlic to go over squash. Yes, it’s extra work - but not too much if your blanching beans anyway and will go a long way to having a more peaceful mealtime/visit.

You both sound pretty punchy btw[/quote]

It's 12/23 and the shopping is done. Do you really think OP has an acorn squash, vegan butter, and mushrooms in the house?[/quote]

I think that the grocery store is still open and even with online this is less than a 20 minute errand. I did my big grocery shop yesterday and I know will have to go pick up two more things tomorrow. That’s just how it works when you’re having a big family meal. There’s always something. [/quote]

NP. The grocery store was a nightmare when I went yesterday. Line stretched all the way back through the produce section. This is not a 20-minute errand, and it’s extremely rude to spring something like this on your host at the last minute.[/quote]

I also was at the grocery store yesterday. And I’m hosting myself. If my sibling was bringing someone and my going to the grocery store could make us all have a much better day, I would do it. And it’s not a long errand. It’s the mental load that is weighing everyone down. This is a really easy fix. Most of that food will be happening passively while other things are cooking. It’s a choice to not accommodate more than a hardship.   And if there’s more than one adult in the home this is something that can be delegated. [/quote]

If you, as the host, are happy to go to the store for these things then obviously that’s fine.

A[b]s a guest, requesting that your host go to the store at the last minute and create additional special dishes for you, is pretty rude.[/b] [/quote]

Exactly.[/quote]
