Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

My family has never been big on Thanksgiving.  My mom has long claimed that not celebrating the day is her silent protest on having one day to be thankful when people should be thankful EVERY day and not just save it all up to serve alongside gluttony and pumpkin pie.  I have a theory that we don't really do Thanksgiving because she doesn't like turkey, but that's beside the point.

This year, my parents' friends are coming, so the rumor is that we are cooking.  Apparently my mom bought a turkey and a roast.  Knock me over with a feather.  One year we had Tombstone pizza and another we stayed at a hotel, took a nap watching "Batman" on pay-per-view and realized we had slept through dinner at every restaurant within a 20 mile radius.  We ended up eating Cheetos.  Yes, Cheetos on Thanksgiving.  So yeah, a turkey and a roast is a pretty big event for this family.

I'm making crescent cookies, which I think are gross.  They're my mom's favorite.  As a rule I only make baked goods that I can't even taste without wanting to ralph because otherwise the temptation to eat the entire batch is just too great.

So happy Thanksgiving!  I hope everyone enjoys the four F's:  fun, family, food and football.
