Okay, I roasted kohlrabi and stewed Roma beans and tomatoes for this deal on Friday, and talked to my folks to confirm that I'm there tomorrow, which uhhh yeah.
@Leucrotta don't give them more of your time than you want. They feel entitled to your time and will take all of it. How much of your time do *you* feel entitled to? How much of that time with yourself do you feel like sharing with/gifting to them? Give them that amount of time! Then do something else. Good luck and hope the food is good.
@eredien WAY easier in theory than in practice. Just in general, there's always some reason dinner will take a while... or we have to do something slowly... or there's something I need to look at... it's always this giant time commitment. Even dim sum winds up being 3 hours. I have exactly no idea of how to be over there and get my ass out in a timely fashion other than not going.
