I hate thanksgiving. I'm always expected to gorge myself on grandmas food. Every year I have to go the g-parents (which isn't all that bad) but my grandma (as all do) goes way overkill. Biggest turkey she can find and every single imaginable side-dish - mashed taters and gravy, macaroni and cheese, green bean casserole, au graten taters, 2 types of stuffin, home-made and canned cranberry sauce, candy yams, bunches of biscuits, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, cherry pie, apple pie.......
Everybody ends up in pain and regetting the 10 pound plates they reluctantly cleaned. Not this year though. I don't care how rude or inconsiderate it seems, i'm NOT stuffing myself. I'm going to eat a healthy portion and retire. No seconds, no 10 pound plate, no un-buttoning the pants to go in for more - that's not what thanksgiving was about.
