In terms of food, do you prefer to cut the food yourself or have someone do it for you (at home)?

I think it's great that your son is home and you'll all be together for Thanksgiving! Talk about something to be thankful for! I am planning to have Thanksgiving at home with my family. My boyfreind is going to cook because he's the best at it. I think he's planning to make a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, including mashed potatoes from scratch. My mom made a pumpkin and pecan pie for dessert. I guess my contribution will be cleaning up.

I never have enough time to eat at home in the morning. My favorite is yogurt with fruit and granola. I cut up fruit or berries the night before (usually kiwi, strawberries, or blueberries). This way in the morning all I have to do is grab a yogurt, baggie of fruit, and baggie of granola. I keep granola bars at work too.

Yes, it would be quite rude to serve anything that you yourself would not eat or drink unless you have a known problem with the dish or drink (recovering alcoholic or allergic to the food).Then again, if you had an aversion to something it would be understood if you did not serve it to anyone.\n\nSo yes, you really need to consume at least a little of whatever it is that you are serving to your guests for proper etiquette.

At least once a week, sometimes more. I work hard all week long and need a break from cooking. Especially on my days off. Cooking and dishes feel like work. So I eat out or order in...

The kitchen is my zone...\nif I were maried and food were being prepared without me...\nI am so THERE it's not even funny.\n\nI will take loitering in the kitchen with a beer, or a glass of wine, over tv, computer, or chores any day. If I'm not the one cooking, I like watching the "busy toil", the work, the chaos, the "stuff" that goes into the making of a fantastic meal. Makes me appreciate what I eat so much more.\n\nIf you want peace and solitude...find a room he doesn't like so much...\nlike the laundry room...\newww....

Depends upon who can afford it, I guess.  But in general, I would say whoever is planning it.  If you and your siblings wanted to do something simple, and your parents want something more elegant, I think you should contribute to the party, but I don't think it is fair for you to get stuck with the entire bill.  Unless, of course, you can do it for a fairly comparable price.  That might be possible, too, if you have the dinner at someone's home.

We carve the turkey in the kitchen for several reasons.  One--we have a large family, so we need as much room as possible for folks to sit, and to put food on the table.  Secondly, it's a lot easier to carve the turkey before dinner and have less people handling it.  Third, you would have someone "in the way" all the time trying to cut it.  Lastly, when we sit down to eat, everyone can eat and no one in particular has to be up and trying to carve the bird in a "aesthetically pleasing" pattern.  Just cut the darn thing and eat!  Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

As far eating I would be selective in what I buy and have available to eat in my house. It's good to have other people join you for mutual support and to exercise together if you can.

When you cut your meat, you hold the knife in your dominant hand.  Then, you switch the fork to your dominant hand to eat your food.

If you like to cook for yourself, and really make the time to do it now, it might make sense to try it.  But I'd say for the general person, you should defininately get the catered plan.

Shouldn't you do it yourself????

I think you're supposed to be doing this one without outside help. And if you're studying biochemistry with a view to being a healthcare provider, I  for one would be gratetul if you WOULD do it on your own, so that you'll learn the method.\n\nBy the way, the cliche doesn't go all the way: "You are what you eat eats."

What would be even better is if you made the dinner yourself. even if its something as simple as sandwiches or mac n cheese she'll appreciate the gesture. In my experience nothing pleases me more than when my hubby cooks or even does the dishes small simple gestures will get you everywhere with a womans heart. well, at least this ones' anyway. so, yes do help her she'll love you more for it.
