A Mother in Law to be precise.
And I forgot they were coming when we went shopping last week. (in fact only remembered when they called from an hour away!)
Not only did I not buy any vegetables last week, we had just a few and I forgot and thought, I also didn't buy any company meat, like turkey, roast or ham or steak.
Nope I have some ground beef (less than a pound), and pasta or potatoes (they don't like rice) and corn.
Corn is not really a vegetable, but it will have to do tonight as I have no intentions of serving them lima beans! (they don't like them)
I do have tomato, but to the best of my recollection the other daughter in law (who is a very good cook) always makes either spaghetti or lasagna (wish I could have some, did I mention she is good) so I don't want them to have the same food two nights in a row.
Anyway that leaves me with two options, some kind of pasta and some kind of potatoes...not really sure what.
Did I mention I was out of vegetables?
About the only think I have a large stock of is chocolate to make fudge out of. and while delivery of the annual Christmas fudge is hottly anticipated by friends and such, take a guess as to how my mother in law feels about it...yep, she doesn't like it.
They said they would be here around 3pm, so I expect them by 4:30 or so.
Which gives me 2 hours to figure out what to cook for dinner, and cook it.
Dinner for company...

Hamburger pie of some sort?
