Wednesday Night Thanksgiving Dinner

On my previous post you saw how much I love when my wife cooks Thanksgiving dinner for just the three of us the day before Thanksgiving. Mommy Bacchus (MB) took off work on Wednesay and started cooking Tuesday night. I told her about my post and how much I was looking forward to it when I saw all the pots and pans flying around the kitchen. I am banned from the kitchen during cooking unless it’s to clean something. MB is a “Food Snobb.” Nothing I cook is ever good enough since she can always do it better. I left for work Wednesday smelling all the fix’ins being prepared and anticipating the end results.

While at work I get a call from MB asking me to pick up some liquor on the way home. I asked, for who? We don’t drink a great deal of liquor. She said her mother was coming over for dinner. Now this didn’t bother me. My mother-in-law frequently comes over the night before thanksgiving and cooks a bunch of desserts at our house because she likes my wife’s kitchen (yes she is also a “food snobb”). Usually she doesn’t show up until 9 or 10 at night after the rest of us have already had dinner, but I was curious why MB was asking me to bring liquor.

I got off work early and stopped by the liquor store and picked up a couple of bottles of this and that. Almost got killed in the store parking lot when some drunk was arguing with his girlfriend/wife while backing their car our of a parking space and not looking back. I got home and before I could put my bags down MB is asking for the liquor. I knew something was up so I asked what was the rush. MB stated that her mother was on her way with some other people.

Oh GOD NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

I went into a panic and tried to compose myself. Right away I noticed MB rushing around the kitchen just like she was preparing for the President to dine with us. Everything had to be just right and this was exactly what I was trying to avoid.
