traditions? each year i consistently eat the following: mashed potatoes,
candied sweet potatoes, turkey, gravy, green bean casserole...specifically,
during thanksgiving, lol. random things change - sometimes there's corn
bread pudding, pork meat bbq sticks, ham, etc. i usually celebrate w/family
but the location varies: florida or the suburbs. i normally don't want to
participate, however, i get roped into it somehow...sneaky family. ;)
