How is it that even though you’ve now got 12 different bowl options with a variety of floral patterns, they still don’t have a nice dark green color option? Read more

My Thanksgiving plate pretty consistently looks like: deep fried turkey, mac n cheese, mashed potatoes with Popeye’s gravy, slices of Cuban bread. Dessert, if I have any, will be apple pie. Read more

On the Popeye’s note. My wife and I were finally able to try the Spicy Chicken Sandwich....that thing is legitimately great. It’s by far the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. With that said, it’s still just a chicken sandwich and definitely not worth waiting more than 10 minutes for.  Read more

So maybe the better question is, has Uber also helped decrease DUI’s? Read more

I have opinions on Thanksgiving. Big ones. Concrete, unshakable ones. Read more

Two things that were a staple of the Thanksgiving table beyond the usual suspects in my house growing up were lanttulaatikko and a ‘carrot salad’. As kids my cousins and I would go absolutely apeshit for the carrot, which, I learned as an adult, was literally just grated carrot with nothing else. I will still argue Read more

No classic cheese ball, pigs in a blanket or my personal favorite cream cheese topped with pepper jelly? Allison wins for recognizing that dark meat is so much better than white meat and for Read more

best leftover combo to make with a hangover: a slice of cornbread, butter, turkey, whole cranberry sauce (not the equivalent of cranberry jello), shredded sharp cheddar off the block, in that order from bottom to top. Read more

Also turkey soup. Toss the carcass in a crock pot with some herbs and spices for a few hours, then add in some noodles and you’ve got another meal going.

I’m abstaining from voting. The only thing I like on the Thanksgiving plate is Stove Top stuffing. I usually like mashed potatoes, but everyone tries to get all fancy for the holiday and loads it with cream and butter until it’s the consistency of cat vomit.  Plus, I really don’t like gravy, and invariably someone Read more

One of the best parts of Thanksgiving is the leftovers, turkey and stuffing covered in gravy, or in a sandwich. There was a Friends episode about this. (Of course, there was a Friends episode about anything and every thing.)

Marnie gets my vote for mac & cheese and pumpkin pie alone, though I also like carrots (sorry, don’t really care about stuffing). I’m not a huge fan of Thanksgiving food even though literally everybody else loses their mind over it. But my mom’s homemade mac & cheese is amazing and I too have a tendency to take Read more
