Vortex, I'm a big fan of pumpkin things -- flan, cheesecake, souffle, etc. Things that are lighter than the trad pumpkin pie, but still delicious!
That all sounds awfully crappy, Daisy. Sorry.
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

only thing is that they tend to have the same spices/feel as carrot cake (which I usually make for my dad's birthday, but we went out this year, so he didn't get one, so I promised for thanksgiving)

I think you need to preorder this stuff, btw... by this Thursday, and the pickup is Wednesday.
Good to know. I have a menu of theirs; I may have to call an order in.

Oh, good point. The other things we always have are chocolate-dipped strawberries and eclairs.

What is even happening?
I just got back from a Body Shop party at a friend's house. I had a paraffin treatment on my hands. They feel so good, I'm convinced I was meant to be a lady of leisure.
This is the first time in several years that I'm not cooking Thanksgiving dinner, and it's making me craaaaaaaaaazy. We're going to DH's aunt's house, and she's a fantastic cook, but I don't know how she does her turkey, what kind of stuffing she makes, what kinds of sides there are going to be...it's going to be all different and weird and so I'm bringing 2 sides and 2 nibbly things and maybe more if I have the time.
Oh, I'm going to miss all your Thanksgiving posts, Jess. You always have great ideas, and always try something interesting. I'm a huge traditionalist about Thanksgiving, so it's sort of a vicarious experiment.
We've had as many pies as people, some years.
And this is bad how?I see Jesse answered, but the answer made no sense, because it presented a plethora of pies as problematic. Piffle.

Winding down the thread we are.
Not sure where the Yoda came from, though.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Rutabaga comes frozen????
My Grandma was the one that started it as well. Then mom picked it up for one year but she quickly passed it onto me. They are a bitch and a half to prep, take forever to boil but it's a thing - Thanksgiving means rutabaga to me.
Personally, I like the stuff too. With that much butter and pepper, I suspect my shoes would taste good though.
Rutabaga, mashed potatoes but no gravy, stuffing that never saw the guy of a bird... Those are my personal tastes of Thanksgiving. The rest can vary wildly and I won't mind.
Damn, now I am hungry too.

So much of that list is so materialistic, it's sort of making me glad I don't have much on the list.
