Odd situation

[nancy324]

Kristy,
Good for you. It's ridiculous to ask someone to make something they don't eat themselves. And it's ridiculous to micromanage a dinner to the point where a tossed salad can't be added to the menu. Most people eat tossed salad, and your suggestion was perfectly reasonable. This church lady needs a lesson in flexibility.

I'm glad it's chicken and not pork chops or something. I'm still afraid the chicken is going to turn out to be some atrocity.

Hey, I just got a call from church. A woman's hubby passed away and not too many people are bringing in food for after the service and I just got nominated. At least the lady did not tell me what to make. I told her I would make Lasagne and bring it over. BTW, I would love to know where I can buy the wheat lasagne noodles?

<<hack>> <<gag>> GROSS!!! That sounds so freaking nasty! Where do they even keep the Miracle Whip in the stores?

Charlotte, have you tried a health food store for the noodles? Maybe even the Health food section of your larger grocery stores. I know ours carries more of that stuff than the smaller "Trader Joe's" stores anymore!

Hello Kristy,

That is odd. Just make your own salad, they really can't complain. It's from the goodness of your heart.

Lots of luck,
Janie

Kristy, that is unbelieveable! It certainly isn't very Christian of her, is it? I have very little patience for people like that. Make what you want. The only acceptable response from that woman or anyone should be a heartfelt thank you.

This reminds me of the cookbook this woman I work with was selling. Her church group wrote and published it and I was going to buy one just for the charitable aspect (I never cook!) until I saw that most of the recipes included bourbon! LOL! I was like, hmmm, well I guess I see why you are all hanging out in the church basement!

I would make my own version of a green salad. If she asks why you didn't use her "recipe", you could claim that you never got the email. }(

Edited to add: Doh! I didn't see Michele's post already suggesting this.

It reminds me of the episode of "How I met your mother" where Lily goes to Marshal's parents' house and Marshall's mom is giving Lily an old family salad recipe that had tons and tons of mayonnaise in it. And she gets the mayonnaise out of the fridge and it's one of those GIANT restaurant sized containers.

At my house there's an almost full tiny jar of fat-free mayo that's been in my fridge for like, 4 months.


I wonder if anyone would be offended if I brought my own food to this thing or if I just brought the chicken and left.
