You are very thoughtful & kind ...but I also have to work the day after.

Perhaps if they released Velious; I could get a TL to the other coast [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It's really not all that elaborate. Most of the dishes are very simple and recipes very forgiving, but in New Orleans we think food is special (even if it's not). There's just a lot of food for a lot of people (generally, about 15 or so).

As for turkey, Thanksgiving and Christmas are the only times a year we eat it (not counting the Oscar Meyer fauxkey processed stuff, here and there). We get enough other meat the rest of the year. I have more lamb than turkey, year-round.

We always have some pretty stereotypical sides for Christmas: yams, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, etc.

But the main dish is grilled lobster, and this'll be the 5th year I'm outside grilling lobster regardless of the weather (which we've had everything from snow flurries to 60s in the past). I wonder if my mom has purchased the lobster already.

We eat turkey cause i fucking love turkey. Once a year is not enough turkey. No matter how much turkey you eat at thanksgiving..its just one turkey meal.

Unless you eat turkey sammiches. I do not eat turkey sammiches.
