take-out food with your family

sometimes we all get lazy and decide take-out is an amazing idea.  for example we decided last minute on friday, that on saturday afternoon all my extended family was going to crash my grandparent's house and we would buy $125 worth of take-out chinese food (soooo much food) and buy a few cases of local microbrewery beers and celebrate life.  It was great because everyone could just hang out and chat and not worry about whether the bird is undercooked or if Grammy left the cake in the freezer.  That's a family gathering i wouldn't mind having at every family gathering, and then i would substitute home-cooked Polish food for the chinese food and maybe have some more of the cross-country/international cousins attend.  I miss those kids!



Now that everyone is all grown up, moved, not moved, married, reproduced, it's nice to get together every once in a while and still have that youthful bond and share memories of countless summers spent together at the family beach front cottages, laughing, playing, taunting, scheming, sunburning, jellyfishin, and loving every minute of the one, the only........ Point-O-Woods beach.    RIP cottages!
