what is it with the obsession?
so i don't get thanksgiving. i am probably more unamerican than t because he loves it more than most. it's the food, not the thanks.
i did not really grow up in a big thanksgiving family. most of my memories were not of this big elaborate meal that had hundreds of people. it was not this big fun/stressful/awesome family gathering, it was just a turkey, stuffing, and a bunch of other things i hate eating.
that's right. i said it. i hate eating that crap. i don't like turkey (except my mom's and even then i am on a limited turkey diet), sweet potatoes, stuffing, pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce. the other stuff, well, it's salad and dessert and appetizers. what the hell?
so here is my ideal thanksgiving menu: a pig roast, with cornbread pudding, egg noodles, salad, deviled eggs, potato salad (mustard based not mayo-based), dips and chips, asparagus, an assortment of cheeses, etc. but you see... do you see the problem? what i just described? that isn't thanksgiving, that's the 4th of july!

We are roasting duck this year. And there will be no mashed potatoes, but rice pilaf.
And I forgot to tell you, but last week I saw you crossing Richmond Road. I was in the car and there was too much traffic for me to stop and chat, though.
mmmm, tasty duck... the other dark meat.
