sraun. His journal has the rest of the trail.
1. What foods really make it "Thanksgiving" to you?
Turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes.
2. If there is one thing that you MUST have on the table at Thanksgiving, what is it?
Turkey
3. What "traditional" American Thanksgiving food do you absolutely abhor and refuse to eat? (Can include more than one dish) Please explain why it is the ultimate in squicktasticness.
Cranberry Sauce - I abhor anything jellied. Also, I don't like most fruit pies, and mince squicks me. Pumpkin pie is good, but most commercial ones are too bland for me.
4. Pie! Apple or Pumpkin? Real whipped cream or Cool Whip?
Pumpkin and real whipped cream or nothing on it.
5. What activity do you like to do on Thanksgiving Day?
Reading a trashy novel while the rest of the family watches football. Going for a long walk, weather permitting.
6. What are you dreading about this Thanksgiving Day?
The long drive to Oshkosh, Wisconsin, where my "in-laws", i.e. Martin's parents, live. The freeway is usually crazy, the weather is sometimes bad. The second half of the trip, once we get off I94, is the little state highway. It's spooky after dark, and it's almost always after dark by the time we get off the freeway.
On another note, I *finally* saw "Pirates of the Caribbean" at the Riverview last night. Now I understand the hair ornaments. It was amusing, but my history editor kept kicking in. I kept having to tell myself "this is fantasy, it does not bear any relation to anything that actually happened". It was worth seeing - Johnny Depp is a hoot!
