Complimenting The Hostess

I had Thanksgiving at a distant in-law's house out of state. I brought 100% of my own food that I had prepared ahead of time and reheated in her oven/microwave. Everything went perfectly, but I had a case of foot-in-mouth a few times.

Everyone thanked the hostess and complimented her food and thanked her for all her hard work. I could tell her the house was lovely, how we appreciated all the effort she went through to host so many people. I offered to help with cooking several times and worked hard wiht clean up.

What do you say when everyone compliments the chef? What phrases/actions do you use to be a gracious guest without revolving around the food?

"Thank you so much for understanding my need to bring my own food! I so wish I could have had your cooking, I am sure it was outstanding, but knowing that I was free to do what I needed to do allowed me to have a wonderful time with everyone here tonight. I really appreciate the understanding you gave to this."

you could go one further and thank her fr being gracious about not making a big deal of bringing your own food, for being understanding about it. then of course the other sentiments sounds perfect too!

I say, "Thank you so much for everything, I had a wonderful time!" Pretty much covers all bases :)

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.
