[quote=Anonymous]My family takes turns hosting Christmas. Keep in mind that I have 6 siblings, so my mother used to cook for eight people every day.. My mother, then n her 70s, decided it was her turn to host. For lunch for eight adults, she pulled out one small can of crabmeat, a pack of eight dinner rolls, and nothing else. I was helping her prep and asked her if she had another can. Her response, "No! If that's not enough, people will just have to go out." Mind you, she lived in rural Maine where 'going out' meant gas station food. I convinced her to open a can of tuna as well. So eight adults had one dinner roll each and about three bites of tuna or crab. A little later, my husband, adult nephew, and I snuck out to the gas station fir the last slice of pizza, a meatball sub with frozen meatballs, and an Italian sub. Sat in the parking lot eating. Fun times.[/quote]
