Night Elf Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I survived Thanksgiving with my family at my house. But as everyone was leaving, I realized that I forgot to make coffee for everyone and no one said anything! In my defense, my back was really hurting so I sat in the living room with a hot rice pack after dinner. I am so embarrassed. I said something to my sister and BIL and he said he wondered about it. But I guess he was being a polite guest. Still, I'm embarrassed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacia Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 :grouphug: Hope your back feels better soon. If the worst mishap of the day was no coffee, it sounds like you had an excellent Thanksgiving! I wouldn't worry about it one bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoobie Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Don't be embarrassed! Why on earth wouldn't he have asked for some? That's not rude IMO and would've been a simple solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Kate Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Don't be embarrassed! Why on earth wouldn't he have asked for some? That's not rude IMO and would've been a simple solution. Exactly what I was thinking! I am a coffee drinker, but in the morning only. I personally wouldn't think to offer coffee after dinner and I certainly would think it was fine for someone to ask for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trulycrabby Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 It's absolutely fine, lots of people don't offer coffee after dinner. Besides, it might have gotten them out of the house sooner, so that's a win, right? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 it wouldn't occur to me to offer coffee if I were hosting. I love coffee but only in the morning. And I just got back from a huge blowout at my sister's place and there was no coffee to be seen. I am sure if I wanted it I could have asked. No biggie.

Just Kate Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Another thought...we were at my brother's house this year. My brother and SIL have a coffee maker, but aren't coffee drinkers. After dinner, my dad asked my SIL if she minded if he made a pot, she rinsed the coffee pot out and my dad took it from there. No big deal! That's what family does (in my world, at least). You shouldn't feel bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasperstone Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 If I was craving caffeine.... and you didn't offer.... then I would've politely asked. :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Elf Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 It was a nice day. All the food turned out well. We even had most of it hot when it was time to serve. My sister and I were laughing that our grandmothers used to do this every Sunday, get a meal ready with everything hot at one time and that was pre-microwave. I don't know how they did it. Oh, and we barely burned the rolls, so that was a success too. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
