No mayo. Not a mayo person. no mayo on anything. she said, marrying a dutch person. and if you don't understand what that means, go look up some photos of dutch food. My wedding buffet was cooked by my mother in law and my auntie in law. They got up at 6am and cooked all day, dragged the food through the blizzard (we married on xmas solstice) and put out plate after plate, about 25 dishes in all, and I'd say 75% of them were *drenched* in mayo.

I tried to hide my West Coast Vancouverite healthfood back ground horror stricken Expression. they had worked SO hard. ugh. Then had to try and explain that some of *my* guests were vegan. which is rather difficult because in dutch vegetarian is "vega". Not the same thing. I asked them to put out the VEGAN food I spend 6 hours making the night before. "but this is Vega, here and here and here" pointing to cheese and mayo addled food. "no. veg-AN N EN. erm. can you please just put the food I made out?" "no no it's all right barbara, it's all right, we make!! see! *Proud hand swipe*"

Ugh. finally "inki. I know your auntie and mom have busted their balls all last night and been up since 6am this morning. But if they don't put the food I made out, I will kill them. Sweetly. With deep appreciation. My dutch isn't good enough. PLEASE."

What a sticky spot!
