For the Foodies
Are you THAT friend that makes your dining companion wait to eat, so you can take photos of your food?

Deliciousness from left to right!

"I often talk about the 'Grandma rule' for travelers…You may not like Grandma's Thanksgiving turkey. It may be overcooked and dry — and her stuffing salty and studded with rubbery pellets of giblets you find unpalatable in the extreme. You may not even like turkey at all. But it is 'Grandma's Turkey.' And you are in Grandma's house.
So shut the eff up and eat it. And afterwards say, 'Thank you Grandma, why yes, yes of course I'd love seconds."
