a lesson in control


I have always fussed over Thanksgiving,well this year I came down with a stomach flu on Wednesday.I was so worried,how would this all get done!Well my teenage daughter cooked mostly everything.I laid on the couch and gave some instruction,the food turned out wonderful,I was able to eat a little plate later in the evening.Ah, so Thanksgiving goes on without me being in control!

Glad you're feeling better and that the flu helped you see just how competent your daughter has become in the kitchen.  It's nice to be "queen for the day," isn't it?  Even if your posture might be in recline upon a couch throne.

Sounds good. I went and just enjoyed thanksgiving at a friends house. It felt
Good to be the one being taken care of. I was pretty stressed in the am so
It felt very good to be spoiled later on, just us three women.

I'm glad you are feeling better, mjferg. It's amazing how our HP can show us things even when we are sick.

Yes ,I am feeling better and it is good to have a daughter who loves to cook,she is actually thinking about culinary school.We started cooking together when she was in grade school.I also love to cook.I remember when she was very young she kept asking me to bake her a cake,I was busy with something and I said wait a bit,a little while later she said, mom the cake is ready!she got tired of waiting so she baked it herself.
