Kitchen prep work is done, turkey's in the oven. Still a good hour before people will start showing up and two hours before we have to start cooking the sides.
And now, we wait.
I didn't know you cooked! Or were you roped into it?
Haven't actually been on a real hunting trip yet, but I'd really like to go.
I've only ever enjoyed the results of other people's hunting trips. I'd love to go at some point, but my aim for anything but a bow is terrible. I'd hate to just hurt the animal in question.
We used to have grace said, but that has stopped. Now the Christians go to a mid-night or morning service and the rest of us just hang about eating and drinking.
Christmas can be pretty cool in London. Usually a dozen-20 of us get together at a house and make dinner, then get drunk, then eat
My fiancee and I had discussed it prior to this event, and we mused that I could probably bullshit my way through it, but doing it with dishonest intentions would have made me feel much worse than the mild awkwardness did.
Yeah, I get that. I usually feel a bit awkward about saying grace before a meal 'cause you don't really do that in Islam. I mean, there are little du'a that you can make before a meal, but that's more of a personal devotional thing, not something you lead others in. Usually you just start a meal with 'Bismillah' (in the name of God), to remind you where the sustenance comes from and who to use it for. So I usually wind up reciting some verse from the Quran instead, typically al-Ma'un.
Took me ages to find my Quran, but that's a very reasonable and appropriate verse to recite.
In case you needed my approval or something, I don't know. :P
Although I have to say, when comparing it to various translations online, I may have the worst and most unintentionally inflammatory translation of the Quran.

I figure for many meals that I eat, something in a cage was pulled out and killed. The very least I can do is experience first hand what it is to hunt your own food, if only to appreciate the work that goes into it.

A hare krishna basically forced a book into my hands when I was out and about.
Not being in the mood to get rid of him I took it and started to walk away.
Turned out they weren't giving them out for free.
His awkwardness as he realised my presumption and trying to get this problem across as I walked away was hilarious.
edit: Probably not immediately obvious from the picture, it's from a porn site.

Oh man, oh man. Now I'm going to have to try extra hard to get this primping right.
My hair has been fighting me since I got to Texas so I'm trying to not make it poofy.
