I am just laughing my butt off from all of these descriptions! I almost fell out of my computer chair!

Tonya, I can completely relate to that fish staring at you thing. We had dinner with my in laws, who are originally from the Carribean. They had whole fish for dinner, each of us had a whole fish on our plates. When they saw me staring at the fish and I was completely pale, they said "What's wrong?" Brian said "She doesn't eat fish with the head still on". His mom just grabbed a butcher knife and WHAM, off came the head. And then she put it on her plate! Ewww!

I'm just hoping they don't have rum cake for dessert this year. They use rum in the batter. Then while the cake is baking, they baste it in rum. When it is finished and you are supposed to flip the cake out of the pan to cool on a rack, instead they flip it into another pan filled with rum. They don't allow people to eat it if they are driving home. Can you imagine getting a DUI because of cake?
