"Thanksgiving is a magical time of year when families across the country join together to raise America's obesity statistics. Personally, I love Thanksgiving traditions: watching football, making pumpkin pie, and saying the magic phrase that sends your aunt storming out of the dining room to sit in her car."
-Stephen Colbert
Ah, the Eve of Thanksgiving. For a vegetarian, you would think this holiday would be a bust, but I love me some food, I love me some family, I love me some football..and I even love me some of the Macy's Day Parade! Back in the day, we would travel to the Hamptons where my father grew up to visit with my grandmother. No lie, our Thanksgivings there were what they make movies out of. I couldn't make up these stories if I tried. Once my grandmother said goodbye, Thanksgiving became a tad more simple. No traveling, no secret dishes. When I made the move to Maryland, the family decided to start a new tradition and make the trek down here. They arrive today and I am super excited. Can't wait to squeeze them and love them!
So, what's on the menu you may ask. Well, I've got a few ideas up my sleeve...
Family, food and football. So thankful!
