And I'm Supposed to Believe This B*** S**t!

My sister calls to tell me she won't be coming to my home this year for Thanksgiving, because of my gluten-intolerance. She said she refuses to eat a gluten-free Thanksgiving dinner & made sure to let me know other family members won't be coming either, for that reason. How stupid does she think I am? Roast turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, cranberries, green beans, corn, carrots & green salad are all gluten-free. I can make bread stuffing (just can't eat it) & she's quite capable of making it, herself. When I host Thanksgiving, I don't bake but instead order rolls, cookies & other special treats from a neighborhood bakery. So nobody's being deprived. Sounds like she's gotten a better offer from her BFF who wants me at her house, for kitchen duty!
 

I also am gluten free intolerant. Your diet is no excuse. I've been to many Thanksgiving dinners and have always found something to eat. I certainly wouldn't miss having her there with that attitude. Are you close enough to the other family members she spoke to? Maybe you could call them and explain that your diet is not the problem.
 
I could use some nasty vocabulary to describe your sister but, being the gentleman that I am. I won't.

I'll just give you my friendly advice; Enjoy your dinner without her. Bon Appetite.
 
Your sister sounds like my daughter's mother-in-law. My Daughter does a lot of the Holiday dinners and she found out about a year ago that she has to eat only Gluten free food. When the Holidays come her Mother-in-law complains the whole time that my daughter has the normal dinner for everyone and some gluten free food for herself or anyone else that wants it. This Thanksgiving one of my grandson's brought his girlfriend to dinner and my daughter prepared a Vegan meal for her because that's all she will eat. Her Mother-in-law complained throughout the entire dinner and said that they could give up their problems with certain food for one day and not cause confusion. My advice to you would be have a wonderful dinner without your sister. She doesn't deserve enjoying your company.

It sounds like she's just looking for an excuse not to come and wants to blame it on you. Didn't you have trouble before with your sister and her BFF wanting you to come on a trip with them because a certain amount in the group would save her BFF some money? No matter who is behind it, your sister or her BFF, I suggest that you go on with your dinner and let her do whatever she wants.

If she doesn't come over, do you have other relatives who will be there to enjoy your dinner? If so, forget about your sister, why ruin your holiday to please her whims?
 
It sounds like she's looking for an excuse not to come and is using that for her excuse. If that is the way she is, I would be glad she's not coming.
 
I don't even know what "gluten free" means. I've heard the term but never looked into it. Don't plan to either. If it tastes good, I eat it. If it doesn't taste good, but I'm hungry enough, I still eat it.
