I would have invited you over for Turkey and pumpkin pie but this will be my first T-day out of state visiting the family that has retired to warmer climates.
Thank you Rich. Every year, I make a point of getting out of the city just before TG starts so that I do not have to choose between invites, a tricky negotiation. Nobody has ever been able to explain the point of pumpkin pie to me - I've never met an American yet who actually
likes the darn savoury fruit/sweet vegetable thingy - and I'm sure this would make me a poor guest anyway.
Absolutely, the traffic and travel will be unbearable closer to the day. Thought you might be in a good place for parade viewing. Really, No fan of the gourd pie? I guess they had to find some use for them beside Jack O Lanterns. I have to admit I prefer apple but I enjoy a slice od pumpkin now and then. I believe the trick is the amount of spicing so not to taste the pumpkin
Always a huge feast with family and friends with plenty of tasty dishes. Can't imagine you as a poor guest, great conversation and tales....ahh sounds like a great time!(for me anyway)
