I'm hurt by how I was treated by friend at lunch at her house
Comments (29)Ok, I've answered some of these points above already but once again to clarify: 1. There wasn't enough room at the table, so we did fix a plate but it wasn't just a matter of taking our seats. There were no seats to take. Going to the kitchen was a last resort - I didn't know what else to do. 2. The hostess had not yet eaten by the time we arrived. So she couldn't remain sitting at the table and eat without getting up. She wasn't already sitting at the table. She was standing, fixing herself a plate. 3. I didn't realize how late we were till we got there - there was no set starting time and she lives an hour away, we sat in the Friday-Afternoon-Heading-Out-Of-Town traffic which I don't know if you can imagine unless you live in a place like Houston where it's unpredictable at best and can be horrific. 4. My children, ages 17 and 20 WERE includded - it's a holiday. (for those who aren't Jewish, maybe that's not meaning anything to you, but would you go to a friend's house for say, Easter Lunch, and leave your kids at home, no matter what age? This would be comparable to that. In any case the invitation which was sent via email said, You and your family. There's NO question, the kids were included. 5. She made no attempt to sit near us. She put her plate down as if she meant to sit near us but came back before ever sitting anywhere, picked up her plate, and went to the other table. I don't mind if she sat with us or not, it's just the way she acted as if she was going to, then apparently changed her mind. Even THAT wouldn't have mattered had it been a table with others in addition to just our family. It was just weird, the four of us, sitting alone in the kitchen, no other guests sitting or eating with us, the rest of the entire party in another room, and no attempt to integrate us into the party. Yeah, we're guilty of being late. But as hostess, it's her duty to make us comfortable and welcome, late or not. That's what I think you'd learn in an etiquette class. 6. And again - we were about 20 minutes late. Is that really late enough to turn around after being in the car one hour and not show up at all? If someone were 20 minutes late to my house and let that convince them to blow off my party, I'd be horrified. 7. I HAVE gotten over this, WAY over this. I wasn't going to answer lizzynola's post for that reason and because most of her questions/comments had already been covered in my previous posts. But since the discussion continues, I'm answering. I am glad I was able to vent here. I'm no longer mad or hurt. I'm still good friends with her. She had no ill intentions. I thank you all for your comments.

Comments (13)Patti, I'm not a bread machine gal, myself. But perhaps you can adapt this to the machine? I'll give you the recipe as in the cookbook From: Uncle John's Original Bread Book Grossmutter's Old Country Rye Bread 1 package dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoon) 1/2 cup warm water 1 cup pumpernickel (or rye) flour 2 cups all purpose flour 2 tablespoons cocoa 1/4 cup molasses (or 3 T. brown sugar) 1 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon caraway seed (optional) 1 cup water (I use a little less) 1 tablespoon shortening or butter Dissolve yeast in warm water, set aside to let proof for 5 minutes. Add half the rye flour, half the white flour, the cocoa, molasses, caraway, salt and about 3/4 cup warm water. Beat 5 minutes. Gradually blend in as much of remaining flours as needed to make a soft dough, using dough hook. Continue kneading with dough hook until dough sort of stiffens up and cleans off the sides of the bowl. Cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise until double--about 1 hour. Punch down, shape into a long loaf. Place on a cookie sheet covered with parchment and sprinkled with cornmeal. Cover and let rise until double--about 1 hour. Slash loaf diagonnally in a few places, brush with slightly beaten egg white mixed with a bit of water. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 40-50 minutes. Your bread machine probably gives instructions for adapting recipes. I get my pumpernickel flour from the Amish market nearby....See MoreTi amo...
