« Too Much Time On My Hands | Main | The Most Adored Food Holiday In All The Land » Costco
November 22, 2005
So I was doing some paperwork when The Sister called. "Hey" I had a really cool offer to take part in a phone-in radio show this afternoon with other food bloggers. The topic? Thanksgiving. Due to my schedule, however, I regretfully had to decline. I was bummed, too. How cool would it have been for me to be able to be on the radio? And then I got to thinking - how cool would it have been, really? As fond as I am of speaking - and I am fond of it - I am not always so fond about the public speaking. True, I would still have the anonimity of the phone lines, but I sort of view public speaking like I do karaoke at a funky bar in Chinatown - in theory, it's really good. But after the first nerve-induced song you warble, you start getting really cocky with the Sheena Easton songs until someone (The Husband) has to give you the look that says perhaps it's time to let someone else have a turn. And if the look doesn't work, they ply you with liquor to simply get you off the microphone and save the patrons of the bar from having to hear you belt out another Celine Dion melody. Though I do hope I get asked again. So the other night at The Meeting Of The General Turkey Synod, the final menu for The Most Adored Food Holiday On The Land was discussed, and agreed upon. So anyway, here it is. It's actually paired down from what we originally thought we needed. Turkey (Turkey-s Plural. We need two of those bad boys) Beverages: "Hey, what's up?" I sat silent for a minute. I love The Sister. And she is gracious enough to open her home to our family at Thanksgiving - all 30 of us radical folk. But... "Costco." Damn.

while you are there, you should pick up the dump truck sized value pack of toilet paper! just think, one thing you will never have to buy again... for the rest of your life! who needs that much toilet paper in one trip anyway?!?! Posted by: Darryl m at November 22, 2005 07:53 PM Here is your challenge if you choose to accept it. Leave Costco with nothing but the corn. I bet you can't do it. Posted by: veg4me at November 22, 2005 08:34 PM Nothing but the corn and your sanity maybe. It could be tough. Posted by: Mindy at November 22, 2005 09:49 PM You have my sympathies. Posted by: Barb at November 23, 2005 04:14 AM Oh.. She so owes you. Posted by: Sie at November 23, 2005 04:31 AM Oh.. She so owes you. Posted by: Sie at November 23, 2005 04:31 AM The things we do for our sisters! Posted by: rhonda at November 23, 2005 04:54 AM Went yesterday, got there at opening time - you should rethink this. There were tons of fools there since 2 am waiting for an XBOX something or other. Every lane opened and packed. Upside: they didn't bother putting out the snack patrol! Posted by: meginAB at November 23, 2005 05:51 AM Having never experienced pre-holiday Costco I can't speak with authority but I don't get how you have such bad luck with Costco shopping. Every time I've been it's always been a pleasant experience until the end. It's just waiting in line that sucks. But when doesn't waiting in line suck? However, I do sympathize that a sibling has put you in a inescapible position. Siblings are so good at doing that. ;-) Posted by: Nerissa at November 23, 2005 06:09 AM You should make sure she gets plenty of Lemon Drop Supplies for you! That way you can relax! Posted by: Duane at November 23, 2005 08:09 AM How rude! Don't go. Kansas would be a much better trip! Posted by: scott at November 23, 2005 12:50 PM I would rather scoop out my eyeballs with grapefruit spoons and replace them with mashed habanero. Posted by: MisChef at November 23, 2005 02:04 PM I'd opt for serving carrots..... Posted by: frances schleien at November 23, 2005 03:24 PM "You're so pretty." "I love you." HA! I think your sister and mine took the same Manipulation 101 course. My sympathies... but man, I can't wait to read what you have to say about the experience! Posted by: Peggy at November 23, 2005 03:28 PM You're so EASY!!! All it took was a compliment?! Damn you are EASY...hehe Posted by: HomefrontSix at November 23, 2005 04:22 PM here's a quote you might remember...
Theretoforever (It's a word, well, in my world) Theretoforever Costco = Hell."
