Yes, this is what you think. 2:30 pm Thankgiving Day.
Old Country Buffet
Our family with my little brother Joe and his new bride, Ely.
A brief list of why is was so awesome:
No inner anger at those who didn't help cook or clean up
No left overs to eat for days and days
Everyone left the table happy and full
No exhaustion from two days shopping, two days cooking, one day cleaning up and two more days eatting the same food for every meal.
No one complained about the food
All the food was hot and done and the same time
No discusion over what recipe of Sweet Potatoes to make
The kids ate Tacos, and Grant and I had the best, most moist Turkey.
And the desserts....oh, I wish I could eat a slice of that perfect coconut cream pie right now.
Oh...you want a laugh? Ten years ago Grant and I had our wedding luncheon at Old Country Buffet. I wasn't allowed to wear my dress (mom's rule) and it was cheap (dad's rule) and it sure made me an official Red Neck.
You go! I especially liked the wedding luncheon comment. I think it's insane that tradition in the US is to start a marriage off with a devastating amount of debt for a wedding ceremony.
