Well, i *am* finicky. That's why i like cooking feasts. If the 
company were good, i could
overlook the food.

And while there are families that are far worse, mine really doesn't 
get along in ways i won't go into here. Present at dinner are my mom 
(my dad died about 6 years ago), me, my daughter, my brother, his 
wife, their two kids, and his wife's mother (her dad died last year). 
There is no topic i can think of that we can discuss, so many are off 
topic or of no interest to my bro's in-laws. My brother has told me 
i'm a worthless human. And there has always been something not quite 
right with my mom (which is why i stopped living at my parents' house 
when i was 15). But it could be worse. No one abuses alcohol or 
drugs, and there was never any physical abuse.

Anyway, maybe my daughter and i can cook in 2006 (my bro's mom-in-law 
hosts next year). Then at least it will be edible and my daughter and 
i can hang out with each other. We enjoy cooking together and we 
actually like each other and doing things together.
