Well, I hope everyone had a great holiday! Hootie, what kind of cake did you make? Sue, I think next year my parents may follow your idea, after yesterday's fiasco...Hunny and I got to my parents house just in time to see my dad under the kitchen sink trying to unclog it, b/c it had gotten stopped up. He spent the next hour trying to fix it, but since he's not a plumber, he couldn't. My mom cooked this huge dinner, and had set the dining room table so nicely-she got out the good silver and the good china, but since she wouldn't be able to wash them, we ate off paper plates!!
With plastic forks!
My poor mother, she was so embarassed!! I told her to look on the bright side-no dishes to do this year!
