[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The “traditional” meal is out dated. Not trying new things or adapting is stodgy and old fashioned. [/quote]

My family's daily meals, takeout/restaurant meals, and general entertaining meals are varied and represent a wide range of cuisine.

Once or twice a year, we love the traditional Thanksgiving spread, sometimes repeating it at Christmas. It brings back memories and helps to create new ones. If you don't like it, good for you. But many people do like it. When I smell a turkey roasting, I am transported to my Grandma's kitchen. And when I eat a holiday meal on her china, I cherish good memories and make new ones as our family grows and we bring in friends.

I like traditions sometimes. You do what you like--that's great. But why do you feel the need to disparage something that other people enjoy?[/quote]

I’m with you. But also there is room for variety. You can do both we do. [/quote]

My husband and I host often, and we cook most items from scratch. It's a lot of work, and we do have a fairly set-but-room-for-variations menu. If you want more "variety" than what we have on offer--which is all delicious and not inexpensive to produce, by the way--then you are welcome to bring a dish and contribute, instead of criticizing what your host has taken time, effort and expense to prepare and provide.[/quote]

That is a very strange analysis of what has been posted.  and you seem to be taking it personally. Weird.

Also you do realize that most of us cook from scratch for these meals? [/quote]

You must be new here. Go in the Search engine and look up “Costco apple pie” and “Costco pumpkin pie,” and find out just how many people do not make standard dishes and desserts themselves. [/quote]
