You can let everyone know that your sister will be doing the majority of the food and that you will only doing beverages, breads, and decorations. Then after all have tried to eat, let them know you have some snacks.
Op has a tiny touch of something I recognize, being the person that keeps weird behavior under control. That was me, my family was completely batsheet and acted like giant toddlers. I need more past info from op.
I read the latest update today and oh boy was it glorious. The sister came with, in OP's words "glittery sweet potato mash that somehow managed to taste like a mix of sugar and sand... Then there was the cranberry and oyster relish. Yes, oysters and cranberries. It looked like someone had spilled jam into clam chowder, and the smell alone was enough to make me lose my appetite. Finally, she brought a pumpkin curry casserole that had raisins in it for some reason and this weird fishy smell that clung to the air for way too long... But the pièce de résistance was her “surprise centerpiece dish,” which turned out to be a turkey gelatin mold. Yes, she took ground turkey, mixed it with some kind of broth and seasonings, and turned it into a wobbly, translucent mold shaped like a turkey. She even garnished it with parsley and cherry tomatoes to make it “festive.”
@catch22ash 1) thank you for reporting back 2) ah hell nah she didn't go with a molded gelatin dish, those were the scourge of the 60s and the 70s😭 I just went to reddit to check for an update on something else and thanksgiving chef sister was the first post at the top. She had the most ridiculous outburst😑
Thanksgiving and holidays can be stressful for the hosts of the gatherings. This? This is hysterical funny. I would be letting her bring whatever she wants and video the reactions of the other guests. Also, images for a future scrapbook with exact ingredients of each dish. I 💯 understand wanting the gathering to be perfect but my petty old rump wouldn't be able to pass up an opportunity like this. 😂
*STORY 2:* It's really simple, actually. Your mom texted you to step back and let sister take care of the food. No problem, reply to mom with "👍" and make sure you and your household is fed before anyone else shows up on Thanksgiving. When nobody is able to eat your sister's inedible food, walk up to mom, plant a kiss on her cheek, and say, with a sh*t eating grin, "Happy Thanksgiving, mom." Let's see how many more meals get ruined like that afterwards.
Story 2 reminds me of another thanksgiving dinner Reddit post. OP's parents were hosting and had the usual spread, when Brother and his GF arrived with "mashed potatoes". They rudely pushed OP's potato salad to kitchen so GF's dish could have a table spot. No one would touch it, GF got teary and Brother got huffy. In the update, we learn GF had managed to burn the potatoes WHILE BOILING THEM, and had tried to fix it by mixing in WATER. And, for some Godforsaken reason, RAISINS. No, seasonings were not included. This was also the first time GF had met the family, so extra humiliating.
*STORY 1:* I remember this post. Alexis truly isn't gf or wife material. She takes 0 accountability for anything in her life. She boinked Mark? Oh, I didn't wanna hurt his fee fees or be seen as a tease or be seen as a cold b*tch. Why does that matter? You're in a committed relationship, who cares what anyone else would think about that? Delusional, pathetic, lazy, people pleaser, and maybe even a splash of narcissism. Lots of traits all wrapped up into 1 package on this one. It's easier to cheat and be a bad person than to do the right thing. SMH 😒. All three of their lives, Derrick, Brooke, and OP, will be better without Alexis in it.
S2: Good food or not so much, it would’ve been less stress and more diplomatic to let her bring one dish. There are so many in a Thanksgiving spread, after all. So yeah, the OP was being a tad overbearing I think.
Right? Every family has the relative who can't cook but still brings something they've made. The two lowest stress options are either just roll with the one nasty dish or actually go full host and make everything yourself. Singling out one person to not be able to bring something just stirs up drama.
For anyone wondering, here’s the Thanksgiving update. I highly suggest anyone who dares to defend the sister read what she made…: Thanksgiving dinner is officially over, and I genuinely don’t know where to start. I feel like I just lived through a fever dream of culinary chaos and family drama, and I need a moment to breathe before I can even process everything. My cousin and I are heading out for drinks to dissect all of it because honestly, what just happened deserves its own Netflix special. I’ll post photos later when I get home, but for now, let me try to give you the rundown. So, my sister showed up earlier than expected, which I should’ve seen coming. She came in like a storm, carrying not just her three dishes but also this giant platter wrapped in foil, which she was clearly trying to make a big deal about. She immediately started rearranging the table, moving my dishes to the side so hers could “take center stage.” She even brought her own table runner and candles, saying something about “setting the mood for a creative dining experience.” I decided not to fight her on it because, at this point, I just wanted to get through the night without a blow-up. Her Trio Experience was… well, let’s just say it was everything I feared and more. She started with a glittery sweet potato mash that somehow managed to taste like a mix of sugar and sand. The glitter wasn’t even edible glitter; it was craft glitter, which I didn’t realize until one of the kids said, “This is crunchy,” and I looked closer. Then there was the cranberry and oyster relish. Yes, oysters and cranberries. It looked like someone had spilled jam into clam chowder, and the smell alone was enough to make me lose my appetite. Finally, she brought a pumpkin curry casserole that had raisins in it for some reason and this weird fishy smell that clung to the air for way too long. But the pièce de résistance was her “surprise centerpiece dish,” which turned out to be a turkey gelatin mold. Yes, she took ground turkey, mixed it with some kind of broth and seasonings, and turned it into a wobbly, translucent mold shaped like a turkey. She even garnished it with parsley and cherry tomatoes to make it “festive.” I wish I were kidding. The entire table went silent when she unveiled it, except for my cousin, who immediately started coughing to cover up what I’m pretty sure was a laugh. Things hit their peak when my mom, who has been defending her this entire time, took one bite of the gelatin mold and just… froze. She didn’t say anything, but you could see the regret on her face. My sister, noticing the lack of enthusiasm, decided to go on this long speech about how Thanksgiving food is “too boring” and how she’s trying to “challenge our palates.” She even called my ham and mashed potatoes “uninspired,” which was rich coming from someone serving glitter sand potatoes. The breaking point came when my aunt, who’s usually the peacekeeper, tried the gelatin mold and actually gagged. She tried to be polite about it, but my sister saw her reaction and completely lost it. She started yelling about how nobody in the family supports her and how we’re all “stuck in the past” with our “unoriginal food.” She even accused me of “sabotaging” her dishes by not hyping them up enough to everyone. At this point, half the table was trying not to laugh, and the other half was just staring at their plates, probably wondering how we got here. My sister ended up storming out of the house, but not before saying something along the lines of, “You’ll regret not appreciating my vision when I’m famous!” She left most of her food behind, which my cousin and I quietly threw out after dinner. The rest of the night actually turned out pretty nice once the tension was gone. My dad’s emergency ham was a lifesaver, and everyone agreed that next year, we’re either going to a restaurant or just skipping Thanksgiving altogether. So now I’m sitting here wondering how this even became my life. I’ll post photos later because you all need to see the turkey gelatin mold to believe it, but for now, I’m off to grab a drink (or three) with my cousin to laugh/cry over everything that went down. This Thanksgiving was truly something else, and I don’t know whether to feel relieved it’s over or brace myself for whatever fresh chaos my sister has planned for next year. Stay tuned for photos-it’s going to be worth it!
Yes share update after thanksgiving when everyone complains the food is nasty blame it on the sister and mother for pushing this its gonna blow up in the sisters face
S2 Why doesn't the sister taste test her own food or ask for feedback from others before bring the finished dishes to thanksgiving? Its fine to want to be creative but if every time you make a dish for a gathering and not even you eat it then that should say something.
From OP's comments on the latest update it seems the sister *is genuinely* in love with her own cooking. She loaded her plate with large servings of the Trio Experience and ate with gusto.
S2: YTA initially since it's not like she's poisoning people for Thanksgiving, but ESH after the update. It's possible the sister feels insecure about her own cooking and wants the spotlight for once, and while it's great their mom's supporting her, the sister should host her own event for that and keep improving her cooking. Also, instead of letting her "take the hint" invite her to a cooking class or teach her how to cook. There's so many ways to turn this into a positive experience rather than looking down on your own sibling just for her cooking.
Nah the sister is either a megalomaniac or going thru a mental break, judging from today's update. I'm kinda leaning on the first cos she threw a fit after her family members' reactions to her “Trio Experience” wounded her ego. She said smth like "You're gonna regret this when I'm a famous chef!" then walked out of the family Thanksgiving party.
It's quite simple, tell her if she brings something, she won't be allowed in 😊 and whoever doesn't like that can leave or just not show up as well 🤷🏽♂️💯
Good grief. One dish that no-one is going to eat, isn't going to ruin a day. The dish will go home uneaten, and either eaten by the sister as leftovers, or tossed, same as every other family dinner. Now instead of one lonely dish set in a corner somewhere, everyone is going to be subjected to multiple dishes of god knows what. Way to go OP. 🙄
Oh, so we just let the giant toddler ruin the party for everyone.. i mean honestly since none of them have a backbone maybe they deserve this... Just by the sister reaction it's obvious that cave in would just create a precedent for her to make horrible cousine and then try to force-feed it to everyone (and then throw a tantrum when no one enjoy it)
@@helesdilibra6109 There already IS a precedent of her bringing horrible food. ONE dish. ONE dish that everyone could have ignored the same as they do every single year. Now they are going to be confronted with multiple horrible dishes that are going to be way harder to ignore. And honestly, if one horrible dish that everyone KNOWS is going to be there, and EVERYONE is prepared to ignore same as always is going to "ruin" your party, many YOU are the giant toddler.
@@Lauria2875buddy, she brought potato’s covered in CRAFT GLITTER, grounded turkey mixed in jell-o and a clam and red berry mix. But go ahead, eat all of that because you’re the bigger person right?
@@scpfoundation8376 She brought all that after being denyed the one single dish she brings every year, that no one eats EVERY YEAR. One. Little. Dish. That would in no way ruin a party any more then it had any other family party before it. An no, you don't eat that! What sort of idiot would eat that! Do you eat everything that's on offer at family dinners? Because I don't know a single person who does. You eat what you like and leave the rest. The point is, NONE of that would have even been on offer if sis had dent thrown a tantrum over one dish that no-one was even gong to eat, or comment on. Because no one ever eats or comments on it. Its a non issue that has now torn a whole family apart. And for what?
Maybe not kids but plenty of people still use it. Just because the story says Facebook doesn’t mean it’s an AI story. By the way, there were updates before and after Thanksgiving.
Ahem. Hate to be the bearer of bad news but this time the sister brought mashed sweet potato with glitters - not the edible type, but *craft glitter*. I hope the kids who ate it are okay.
Second OP might be right about sister's cooking, but it IS controlling to say she can't bring anything. Obviously there are enough family members that are willing to humor the sister's experiments that it's not going to ruin the whole day. There's nothing about allergies that need to be avoided, so you don't have to worry about her killing someone. What would be the harm in asking her to suprise everyone with an additional side dish to sit beside all the regular food?
@@Calories_To_Calibers It IS controlling to think you can unilaterally decide who can and cannot contribute to a meal, just because you're hosting one family gathering. Does OP think her dinner will be some sort of Martha Stewart style picturesque spread, that the sister's food will ruin the instagram pics of? If not, then why care? People bring bad food to potluck style meals all the time--basic manners is to not make a big deal over it.
@@FullMoonOctoberhow about you go and read OPs post Thanksgiving update then come on here and tell us OP was a prick and if you’d eat the sisters food.
@scpfoundation8376 You don't have to eat someone's food if you think it's bad. You also don't have to be rude and tell them they're not welcome to bring anything. Normal families manage this same issue without difficulty every year, without turning it into an unnecessary fight.
For the 2story: what if the op did a way so the others who are defending the sister can eat her food awhile the others who are with op c a eat normal food if the ones that defending her sister wants to say the op is overeating let’s see them eat the sisters food without hesitation I feel like the mom should take the first bite of it if she so assisted on the sisters food (this is just my opinion)
Story 2 - Just let it happen cause having the family not eating the meal at all will get the message into your sister's head. But do be prepared for the mom to put all the blame on OP for "Not having a back up plan and making their sister look bad."
If no one usually eats her dishes, why was the OP pressed about it in the first place? Just don’t eat it. It doesn’t seem like the sister complains when no one eats it. Instead of letting her insecure sister feel like she contributed, the OP was focused on every dish being something fantastic. Now there’s a chance that she may let her sister cook everything, ensuring no one will enjoy a single dish, just to prove a point? I’m petty, but this is self defeating. 😂
@JDubs1464 why does there need to be coconut milk and almond flour in green bean casserole. When you teach someone a lesson you go full unrelenting force and make it hurt as much as physically possible.
Dear god; PLEASE keep an eye on story two for an update after thanksgiving 🙏🏿

@@jdavis7613well Op is going to let her host so she can plan everything instead soo.
