Coming up pretty soon!! What plans do you guys have for the holiday? Traveling or staying home? What are you eating other than the usual? Any traditions your family is involved in?
My brother and I usually fast the entire day before, and then gorge ourselves during dinner. I will usually drop a deuce about halfway through the meal so that I can fit more food into my digestive system. Last year each of us put down over a pound and a half of mashed potatoes alone. We spend the rest of the day in pain on the couch watching TV.
For the past couple of years we've done the boneless turkey holiday meal for 6 from Boston Market. It is surprisingly good and surprisingly well-priced! Everything is "banquet sized" and you get spinach artichoke dip and crackers, cranberry sauce, 3lb boneless turkey breast, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, cornbread and an apple or pumpkin pie. It's about $60 for all of that. My mom will usually make some shrimp and or salmon for me since I don't eat the turkey.
What about you guys??
