> Yikes, Greggie...I only wrote it because it *is* the way food will get to the table in a majority of US households. In other words, the reality. > --- Luis (At one with the turkey....) That's pretty funny coming from a guy with exquisite culinary talents! On that same note......yet another tradition begins to unravel in our culture. I am an oddity amongst my friends. Most will be dining out with their families for this Thanksgiving. We are having a traditional Thanksgiving with family at home. NO.......I am not doing the cooking. Mr. Colette is doing the bird. The girls and I are preparing all the trimmings. Many friends and acquaintances are having this affair catered in. What the hell is that?? OHMIGAWD!!! I'm getting old!! If I look in the mirror and see my mother........ :) Happy Thanksgiving, All.........in whatever manner you chose to celebrate! Colette
