No problem. Tell HIM to "go right ahead and do one."

Good plan, mama!
You know I just cannot read him on this subject. I honestly cannot tell if it is nostalgia or obligation guiding his decision. When we were at his place the other day and he said that we may just go ahead and cook a big dinner I asked him if he felt obligated to furnish the big dinner so there would be leftovers for the others to take home. He said that has nothing to do with it but I bet it does. He feels obligated for some reason. He is going back and forth between the big dinner and pizzas.
My hubby's bro never makes a decision til the last minute and I see where he gets the habit at. He gets it from their Dad. I like to know what I am doing so I can plan.
He prepared one holiday meal after their divorce before I came into the pic and took over. He hasnt done it in so long he has no idea of the shopping, cost and cook time involved.
Unless I changed my mind I am taking JP's advice. If he wants to do one then he can.

By they way I went to the store yesterday to get a pound of butter and was I ever stunned with the price. $3.89 a pound! It had always been around $2.69 at the hightest. Is their a butter shortage I don't know about? Grocery prices are sky rocketing.
No dear - it's the time of the year when more baking is done - they getcha there. Our sale prices here are 2.69 to 2.99 - normally well over 3.59+.
They screwed around with the margarine formula throughout the years so you can't bake with it - they got us good. That is why I stock up when it's on sale and freeze it.
