At 4:00 a.m. yesterday morning we bid farewell to The Husband's Fabulous Parents. And now the house is horribly quiet except for the sounds of Jill Scott and the freezer ice machine dropping ice.
And let's be honest, it's all about people telling me how fabulous I am. (Arrogant pain in the arse that I can be) But it was wonderful. They have a genuine appreciation for food and I made every moment they were here about The Food. As did The Mother, The Sister and The Aunt. Everywhere they turned they were being offered fabulous plates of food. Roast barron of beef, oven roasted vegetables, baked squash, plates of pumpkin bread, baskets of fruit, pasta with beef ragu', chicken and smoked mozarella ravioli in a fennel cream sauce, biscuits and gravy, bacon, smoked ham, carmelized onion dip, beer battered halibut, pound cake with berries, and on and on and on and on. We saw the sights, ate more food, shopped until we dropped, ate more food, watched movies, ate more food, laughed ... and ate more food.

That must be nice. Better than my faux-husband's parents, and the visits that make us whisper about throwing them in front of oncoming traffic, anyway. Just thought I'd take the opportunity to speak up and say how much I enjoy reading your blog. And point out you how fabulous you are, of course.

Posted by: Bob at October 14, 2004 06:50 AM If I tell you you're fabulous will you cook for me? Posted by: HomefrontSix at October 14, 2004 06:59 PM |
