Wow , I was ready to be on your side because I assumed that she wanted ham and turkey . but you seriously made only ham ? Nothing but ham and mashed potatoes ? Come on , man . You dropped the ball . And after specifically asking her to look up a ton of recipes ? What were you thinking ? The holidays are a big deal at any time , but on this yearwhen her dad completely let her down and you stayed home as a courtesy to be with heryou REALLY should have made more of an effort . The poor girl is probably heartbroken , and you were too busy watching football to do more than sticking a ham in the oven . I mean , really . Have you ever had any kind of nice dinner ? How could you possibly think that ham and mashed potatoes was a suitable Thanksgiving ? I told her I didn ' t know she wanted anything else . I ' m dumbfounded . She gave you a list of things to buy and a ton of recipes , and you told her that you DIDN ' T KNOW that she wanted anything else ? ?? I just . wow . Get yourself into the kitchen and make her a damn Thanksgiving feast . Her dad let her down , and so did you .
