I came back here to try and find a post I could say "Hi" on, that wasn't your bloggy giveaway one, and found this one.<BR/><BR/>I'm with you. I don't care for hamburger either (or any other processed meats, for that matter...no hotdogs, baloney, salami, spam etc.) I will eat a small amount of hamburger if it is in lasagne, but even that is pushing it. Chili dogs would be way over the line for me. I can't stand chili at all!<BR/><BR/>I was thinking about this "problem" of yours and wondered if you could take along anything additional to contribute to the meal, say a tossed salad, a fruit salad, some grated cheese for the chili dogs (which you could then put on whole grain buns or something), or even a casserole of mac and cheese...anything that would complement the meal your mil is serving. You can still take the hot dogs or whatever she wants, but when you show up, just say, "Hey, I thought a nice salad would go great with the chilidogs you had planned!" or whatever you want to say. That way, you will still get something to eat, your mil has her family dinner as planned, and nobody has hurt feelings...hopefully! I know these situations can be so touchy.<BR/><BR/>I realize that I don't really "know" you or know your situation food-wise, etc. This whole comment started out as just a way to say, "Hi!" and morphed into something completely different. So anyway..."Hi!" again and thanks for dropping by.<BR/><BR/>Michelle<BR/>www.northofthe49.commichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06949946724599509890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12157718.post-48647230514788671512008-04-21T05:44:00.000-07:002008-04-21T05:44:00.000-07:00YAY that you could vent!

Whenever something like this happened to us when the kids were little, I just pushed more water down them for 24 hours & they came out of it seemingly ok...immune system didnt dip, etc, etc. ( they werent happy about the water, but oh well! lol)Happywife84https://www.blogger.com/profile/15138462013359565891noreply@blogger.com
