Ah yes, the infamous niece. Duct tape on her mouth might well as well.

Ooooh.. how about a motion triggered video recorder? Then share the results after dinner for an eye opener. I just can't believe this woman sees herself accurately.
I think that I must have missed an interesting story.

Niece apparently is a bit of a vacuum cleaner around food.
No shame, just shovels it in.
*Allegedly*.
No proof, other than 'heart rending' stories on here.
Reminds me of an aunt...she'd never eat in front of us...nothing fit into her diet...she couldn't have this, that, or whatever. Then we'd walk into the kitchen and see her inhaling something...junk food, whatever and she'd just give us this guilty look.

Humans are such stupid and at the same time such complex organisims.

Sad but sometimes true. My office partner had a stepmother that only ate one meal a day. When people looked at how much she put down, she would explain that it was her only meal of the day. She spent the rest of the day in front of the fridge, eating. That wasn't a meal, since she didn't sit down.

Several restaurants in the Tucson area have run their Thanksgiving Day ads in the paper.

Holy [censored]! Turkey costs less than ground beef. You can buy a just as good if not better heat n' eat turkey dinner from your stupidmarket's frozen food section for $3, no tax, no tip. For $85 I can feed ten people a turkey dinner, as good as from any restaurant, probably better... BYOB.
Never been to a restaurant, eh? You're paying for more than just the food.
Right... tables jammed together to cram them in for the holiday, hard chairs, screaming brats, some old stinky guinea at the next table who [censored] her pants, surly impatient waitstaff, two measly dried out turkey slices,small blob of greasy tasteless stuffing, canned sweet potatoes served at room temperature, frozen pie, a fat check, and hustled out the door after 45 minutes to make room for the next crowd of frolicsome porcines. Did I mention screaming mimi brats.
Before suffering Thanksgiving dinner jammed into some greasy spoon regardlss they have an out of sight wine list I'd rather donate my services to a soup kitchen and dine with the more unfortunate. I'll be doing a leg of the lunch run for the neighborhood Meals On Wheels... I'll be home just in time to pop the boid into the oven for me and my guys.

Good onya, Shel.

I think most families and offices have one of that type. I worked with a woman who was always on a diet and acted like a martyr when we ordered out. She'd say. "Oh, I'll just have a salad." We all knew she kept a small kitchen in her desk drawer and stuffed a new box of doughnuts in it almost every morning. She frequently volunteered to go pick up whatever we had ordered. She ate like a wolf and would sometimes come back with food dribbled on her blouse. We guessed she would get what we ordered and did a fast run through a drive through for a burger or 4.
