A few times already this trip Hawk has grumbled that "It's all about eating." A few times already— and we've only been here two days!
It's true that a lot of our plans this trip are plans around food. But that's a natural byproduct of a trip that's a lot of social calls. It's natural to propose, "Let's get together for lunch/dinner," like we did twice with different friends on Saturday, or when we're visiting relatives for the day, like on Sunday, start by suggesting, "How about we go out for lunch together?"
Then there's the fact we built this trip around Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is all about food. But Thanksgiving is also about togetherness. You don't have to stuff your face just because you're enjoying the company. Though when the company is good and the food is good, sometimes that happens naturally. 😅
