Oh yes, one last thing before I go back to writing about why you should use a fulfillment company...
I have been requested to post an anti-Thanksgiving menu, which I will. The anti-Thanksgiving menu is a Catholic, harvest Thanksgiving menu that is intended as an alternative to celebrating the arrival and survival of the pestillence of Puritanism on these shores.
I will also post a quality Thanksgiving menu for those of you who want to use the traditional ingredients, but would prefer a feast that actually tastes like one (without inedibles like Devilled Eggs - please, send them back to the Hell that they smell like, and metallic canned and pitted olives (look, I can put them on my fingers! Whoopee! It is a much better use than actually trying to eat the little turdlets), and the like).
I will work on these menus in between procrastination breaks from the editing project. Fortunately Amalia is quite pleased constructing some sort of kingdom in her room that involves a castle and horses and her green tractor, or else I wouldn't be able to get anything done.
Menus will be posted this afternoon.
Posted by erik at November 11, 2004 11:29 AM | TrackBackI used to work with an Italian girl who had immigrated to this country about ten years before I knew her. The family decided that to celebrate Thanksgiving as Americans they needed a turkey. But they all disliked turkey. So they bought the smallest one possible and set it out as the center piece. At the start of the feast they each had a bit of turkey. A quarter of a mouthful, say. So they had then officially had an American turkey dinner. Then they went on to the feast properly so called: pasta and home made sausages; sauteed peppers - red and green -with onions, and then cheeses, and all sorts of other things I couldn't begin to name. And wine. You would've approved. (Although perhaps not of the "center piece".)
Cheers,

I will have to look it up, but I believe that Cayenne pepper was enough to earn the term "deviled"
I like devilled eggs! By the way, why are they called "devilled"...and what's the deal with the names of devil's food and angel-food cake? Maybe "devilled" actually means De Villed, as in Coupe de Ville? A luxury item, i.e.
