Well, in that case, you should be serving venison, duck, goose, lobster, clams, squash, pumpkin and onions. Those were the foods served at the "first Thanksgiving" in 1621. The pilgrims sat down with the Wampanoag people, who had taught them how to plant beans, corn and squash (the Three Sisters).

Many of the pilgrims were averse to hunting, because that was done for sport back in England. With the Wampanoag's guidance, they took it up, not wanting the alternative which was starving during the winter.

Not to be Debbie Downer, but remember that horrifying 2019 New Yorker article about Thanksgiving?

Fun with your family for free? A bargain!

I agree and I'm happy to see your splendid little man back. Is he your alter-ego?

I basically broke even.  Didn't win big, but didn't lose big either.

Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!

What's new with you all??

I've been doing well! 

This weekend is the Skate America competition, so I've spent the majority of the weekend inside watching the figure skating.  However, on Saturday morning I got together with my family, and we went to a casino, getting back home about 2:00 in the morning.

I basically broke even.  Didn't win big, but didn't lose big either.
