Also, delegate -- I'm sure your MIL thinks one of her finest dishes should grace your table, and you don't have to eat it, just serve it, and there's one less dish for her to make. My aunt always brought dessert, and I don't think anyone except those of us too young to drink ever noticed its presence. Or if there's some dish your MIL loves and you detest the idea of preparing -- creamed onions are good that way -- so are whatever other vegetables you wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole, then let her go for it. <BR/><BR/>Completely sober is overstated as a method for coping with family. If I didn't have Dewars by the liter at my house, my mom would never stay for dinner.alice, uptownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08566579486140522212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13856645.post-1128043410134446982005-09-29T20:23:00.000-05:002005-09-29T20:23:00.000-05:00I'm down for getting together!
