I dislike how this guy always makes his concepts so shiny . It makes it hard to make out certain details . <| sep |> Yeah I was more unhappy about the 55 yard FG attempt into the sun . I ' d rather he punted or tried to draw them off with a hard count and then punted . <| sep |> When you are invited for a meal at someone ' s home you are pretty much stuck eating what they prepare . Honestly , frozen lasagna for a meal is not that bad , pork ribs for a 4 th of July bbq is pretty common , and most of the foods you described at the Thanksgiving are not that odd either . I doubt the inlaws are trying to make you uncomfortable . Everyone is raised differently and have slightly different traditions for birthdays and holidays . What was normal in your home is not necessarily normal for everyone else . This is something that you are just going to have to suck up and deal with if you want a relationship with your inlaws .
