2 - My mother in law roasts the turkey with sausage wrapped around the top. So the sausage bastes the turkey and gets cooked all at the same time. Everyone fights over the sausage pieces - and the turkey is awesome too!


That potato dish was one of my favorite all time side dishes as a child. We always went to my aunts for Christmas and that was the only time I ever had it. Delicious! All I remember is that it was like a very rich version of mashed potatoes that had a wonderful smooth texture to them, bursting with flavour.

So what part of the turkey do you guys go for. Dark meat, white meat or both? I like the dark meat (leg in particular) and the white (breast meat) for leftovers for making hot and cold turkey sandwiches.

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.


Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

Our Thanksgiving dinners kinda suck. We always go to my brother & sister-in-law's, and both their kids have food allergies. That means a gluten and dairy free dinner. I miss mashed potatoes with real butter and gravy. We could make our own food, but we don't want them to feel excluded. But for dessert, I make a special pie for them because there's NO way I'm giving up my pumpkin pie with whipped cream. I could eat it as the main meal!

Mary, Mary, Mary! You ARE too nice. It's kind of unreasonable, especially for T-giving, to expect that everyone has to eat like crap because two children have to. Too bad. You should bring each of them a pilgrim outfit and all of your leftover Halloween candy. Oh, and bring a drill/driver and a couple dozen screws to "secure" the door to the room where they will be donning costumes and snarfing gummi bears.

Bob, You should honestly start your own advice column. If Ozzy can do a health advice column, I see even greater success for yours. Your advice is much more practical and nets immediate results as opposed to "Stop eating doughnuts, except on birthdays and other special occasions."


With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.
