Their son is cooking Thanksgiving this year. Is that because, when his wife made a gourmet version, they mocked it as “weird”? 3 min 1886 (Illustration by Nick Galifianakis for The Washington Post) Column by Carolyn Hax November 19, 2024 at 12:00 a.m. EST Adapted from an online discussion. Dear Carolyn: My mom had this saying, “Least said, soonest mended,” and I’m wondering if it’s true with our daughter-in-law, “Lindsey.” My husband, younger son and I had Thanksgiving with my son “Todd” and his wife a few years back. Lindsey is a great cook and likes fancy food, so she made some unusual dishes: goose rather than turkey, for example. I loved it all, but my husband and younger son prefer familiar food and joked during the meal about all the “weird dishes.” Share 1886 Comments NewsletterThursdays for 12 weeks Voraciously: Meal Plan of Action Dinner needs a game plan.
