My favorite sides include:
Electric gravy
Baked beans (they're really haricot vert, but, trust me, they're baked.)
Smashed potatoes with Afghanistan poppied goat's milk and compound butter, made with tarragon, parsley and trim.
And for dessert, cinnamon apple ice cubes----in a festive, and holiday festooned bong. I think there's usually a whole turkey involved too, but I can never remember (by the time I get home).
Seriously, when you get old enough, your dump it on your adult kids to host and you bring a gift that you bought at CVS on the way over.
Kidding. They will DEMAND that I make a 3-layer choc/choc cake or 4" high raspberry cheescake, topped with a chocolate glaze. I'm never really keen on baking a huge thing that I'm gonna get only one piece of, so, sometimes, I make an "extra," or just go back to the cinnamon-apple ice cube thing.
