Writer's Block: Eat, Drink, Be Merry
Nothing toys with my gag reflex quite like green bean casserole. Whoever decided that this concoction of otherwise-edible foodstuffs was food needs to be dragged out into the street and shot. Repeatedly. In the crotch.
Another dreaded offering of the Thanksgiving table is the disgusting canned gelatin known as cranberry sauce. If it was actually sauce and not a cold, jiggling, can-shaped mass of cranberry-flavored vomit, I might actually enjoy it.
But mostly, I enjoy Thanksgiving and the myriad Mormon family recipes incorporated into the festive event. Thanks to those crazy God-worshippers with huge families, I have plenty of relatives, each of whom has their own recipe for Thanksgiving goodness which has been passed down through the years. Thousands of people, millions of dishes. Ah, the autumn/winter holidays are the best times to be a foodie in my family.
