hehehehe... one year my Uncle decided to go with a Mexican themed Thanksgiving, which was ok with all of us as we are all chili heads, but!!! the menu called for rice!!! I thought one of my (adult male) cousins was going to cry when he found out there were not to be any 'taters!

I asked my wife yesterday what she wanted to have for Thanksgiving dinner and she said "Well, we're not going overboard this year - just turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberries, green bean casserole, and pumpkin pie." Well, that's a relief! Let me know if you folks can figure out what she has left off the list such that we're not going overboard.

In beautiful decorated stemmed glasses...
