Plates are never big enough

They don't give me my own gravy boat

People pre-cut pies into these tiny pieces

Whipped cream falls over when you pile it too high

    They pour me a glass of wine instead of setting out a bottle at each place setting.

    I make multiple trips... and just skip the plate and pile the whipped cream in my mouth.

    Tofurkey rolls around on the plate, and if it falls on the floor, you might need to fight the dog for it.

    My sister-in-law use to make a huge pumpkin cheesecake every Thanksgiving, but she moved to New York.
    This year, my mother-in-law is making pumpkin cheesecake ... but in these tiny friggin muffin wrappers.
    Seriously, WTF?!
    The only good thing about them is that I'll be able to turn them inside out over my mouth and swallow them whole.

    That's why I just grab a spatula.

    You people and your utensils. Just pick up the platter and shovel it in.

    I'd say a 14 would do it.

    And what if I am too full for thirds? Or even worse, seconds. What if I don't get to try all the desserts? What if we run out of something before I get enough? Ahhh, the stress.

    That is by design, just think of all the extra calories you burn by all the extra trips from the plate to you mouth. Also, did you know that forks of that size are meant to be used one in each hand :tongue:

    Hate to break it to you hon, but one day of eating lots of good food does not a fattie make.

    Suddenly missing my late mother-in-law because my Thanksgiving events have decreased to TWO instead of THREE. :cry:
