Yes, he was in the right. Yes, I would say do it again in a heartbeat. But you have to mend hurt feelings, even if you were in the right, especially if it's in the family.

So I may have ruined Thanksgiving. The SIL was walking around pimping her pies. Telling everyone how these are

You did what needed to be done.

Virginia Ute

11/23/17 5:30pm

What was rude? That your pies tasted better? We're you not supposed to bring

Mister P

11/23/17 5:31pm

Nevermind, I just saw the linked post.

Mister P

11/23/17 5:32pm

If her pies were superior, you would be the one taking home uneaten pies.

You’re a good man. The minority needs to stop expecting to be catered to.

11/23/17 5:34pm

Sounds like you saved it for 90% of your family

she should've pimpedforparadise instead

It was incredibly rude of her to try and ruin Thanksgiving without gluten

TCuz

11/23/17 5:37pm

So what's the plan? Do you ignore the text, or are you supposed to apologize?

Mister P

11/23/17 5:39pm

I’m just going to ignore it. She asked to be in charge of pies. It would be one thing if she

The market wins again

B Blue

11/23/17 5:39pm

It's his fault for not heading this off the second he heard her plan

wapiti

11/23/17 5:40pm

Agreed. He's a gluten for punishment

Blue Cougar

11/24/17 1:09am

You saved everyone from years of pretending

korihor

11/23/17 5:47pm

Yep. Better for her to learn now that nobody likes her pies than years down the

I had no idea my SIL needed gluten free. She wanted to know what was in every dish & seemed genuinely

soupie

11/23/17 5:56pm

Gluten free stuffing? C'mon. What does she expect?

Mister P

11/23/17 6:00pm

Seriously!

soupie

11/23/17 6:06pm

Cornbread stuffing

kccougar

11/23/17 7:16pm

I do use cornbread but it still had flour in it.

soupie

11/23/17 7:44pm

Gluten was made by God. End of story.

11/23/17 5:59pm

so was coffee, tea and beer

Cougarealist

11/23/17 6:33pm

And meth

Cougar-Duck

11/23/17 6:35pm

You're not helping

Cougarealist

11/23/17 6:38pm

Beer and meth require human effort. Frankly, so does corn.

TailgateU

You’re a hero

conflictedcoug

11/23/17 6:08pm

Allowing an anti-gluten crusader make the pies is like letting a vegan

Mister P

11/23/17 6:14pm

i Always ask for extra gluten when I go to one of “those” restaurants.

11/23/17 6:41pm

I don't blame you, but you need to make amends somehow.

Mises

11/23/17 6:54pm

May I suggest offering her some pie?

SJS

11/23/17 6:55pm

Seriously. Pimpin' needs to take her a pie for a peace offering

Born2Fish

11/23/17 6:55pm

What did he do wrong?

RdF3

11/23/17 6:58pm

Nothing at all. But it doesn't mean he didn't hurt her feelings.

Mises

11/23/17 7:12pm

Absolutely not. She tried to force her special diet on extended family on thanksgiving

JohnnyComeLately

11/23/17 7:45pm

Are you married? Would you say that to your wife?

Mises

11/23/17 8:12pm

Yes I’m married and she has severe allergies to tree nuts and fuzzy friit

JohnnyComeLately

11/23/17 9:02pm

You've missed the point. I agree with you. The SIL was being ridiculous.

libertycoug

11/24/17 4:29pm

Hard to know. Did he do it in a way calculated to surprise and offend?

Paco

11/24/17 10:14am

If she wants to bring a couple of pies for the gluten free duo, fine. But

gwalker

11/23/17 6:57pm

I think people that eat only gluten free have no idea how bad their food is to

Mises

11/23/17 7:17pm

Agreed. He was selfish too. (His wife being the first)

Blue Cougar

11/24/17 1:13am

No. You saved Thanksgiving.

You, Sir, did an extraordinary thing. #MPGA

You are a hero

byuTX

11/23/17 7:45pm

Well, she did say “I'm not going to make something I can't eat."

Gigo

11/23/17 7:59pm

true, instead she made something that no one else could eat. #worse

The market has spoken. Supply and demand.

BostonCougar

11/23/17 8:53pm

I'm curious which pies her husband ate, the good ones or the gluten free crap?

sevenIDcougs

11/23/17 9:53pm

I think putting one person in charge of all pies is a bad idea to begin with.

Capricious Cougar

11/23/17 10:21pm

You did the right thing

chazen

My sisters can no longer eat a lot of things, including white sugar. Although
