[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My grandmother used to say FHB- which we all understood to stand for family hold back![/quote] Oh my goodness. Please, never turn into this type of family. Like someone else said, it doesn’t all have to “go.” It’s perfectly understandable if you simply don’t have more salmon. But you have to provide quantity if you are going to invite people or allow your children to invite them. Does a Stouffer’s frozen mac and cheese “go” with salmon? No. But heating it up and serving it alongside the now-not-enough planned dinner is way better than “FHB.” But at this point in the game, a kid’s friend staying over unexpectedly has happened so often that it now should be…expected. So stock up, even if it is frozen pizza or frozen mac and cheese, or more dry goods like pasta and marinara, and simply be prepared to put more food on the table with short notice. Or get a few takeout menus and do takeout on nights with friends over.[/quote]
