Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

That being said, Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, but we really are audacious as a nation to make as big a deal of it as we do. The original premise of Thanksgiving sandwich... fuck, let me try that again. Geo just asked me if I wanted a sandwich and apparently I am incapable of doing two things at once. Okay, so the original premise of Thanksgiving dinner was to promote goodwill between the Pilgrims and the Indians. But in reality, it was pretty much like a death row inmate's last meal for the Indians, because soon after the settlers started trying to eradicate them from the face of the planet. But I'm all for commercial holidays so bring on the turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy and... FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although to be honest, I'm not really a big Detroit or Green Bay fan. And I know the sports commentators always have their tongues up Brett Favre's ass, but I think he's kind of a dork.

So it's 4:30 p.m. and I'm watching football, while Geo is in the kitchen preparing our Thanksgiving feast. It's good I'm taking care of the babies or I'd feel like a total ass. I haven't even peeled a single potato or squirted the turkey a little with the baster. Although to be honest, it's probably a good thing that Geo is always in charge of the holiday dinners. I don't think his parents would appreciate being served a Thanksgiving "feast" comprised of macaroni and cheese, spam, scrambled eggs and cereal. Oh and pickles. Got to have pickles. Yeah okay, it's good that Geo is running the food and beverage end of this holiday. We're having the traditional turkey with stuffing, garlic mashed potatoes, gravy and cranberry sauce. YUMMY. And Geo's mashed potatoes rock!! That's not code for anything. His mashed potatoes are the best ever. The only thing missing from the dinner was pumpkin pie, but that's okay. I think the idea of pumpkin pie (for me at least) is always better than the reality. I'll spend days craving it, finally get my hands on a piece, then realize it's like eating boiled carrots dipped in cinnamon. No need to get creative, I'll just stick to ice cream.
