I've been training my 22 yr old daughter for the past 3 yrs to cook that meal by herself. She was a late bloomer in the fact that she never wanted to learn to cook; all 4 of her brothers loved it; now she does as well. This is her first year in her new apartment with her kids and she's fixing the meal. I get to enjoy myself this time. Then in the late afternoon I'll go to my ex's house to visit with them. His wife and I are best friends and everyone in her house are always running in and out and she ends up in the kitchen by herself while others are eating and watching TV. This way she has someone to talk to and enjoy the holiday with as well.
