Yeah, one year I brought a potato and asked to microwave it so I could have a baked potato, and my MIL looked so offended! I probably should just volunteer to bring a salad, but it's easier and less offensive to the host/ess to just eat a PB&J in the car on the way there, and pick at enough food to make it look like I ate something.
I'm really not a super picky eater, but somehow Thanksgiving combines all my least favorite foods into one meal. The only way they could make it worse is to replace the Turkey with fish, lol.
I do enjoy pumpkin and apple pie, however
