Thanksgiving Missives

• What are giblets?



• I'm afraid of the answer to that question.



• In my family there was a lady who had dementia who had in the past had been the life of the party when it came to cooking. What a spread she could throw during the holidays. She was encouraged to cook one time when she was past her mental prime to have prepared her last thanksgiving meal. I remember the giblet gravy she made bubbled very vigorously even though it was stone cold and it smelled funny. I tried to tactfully steer her side of the family away from it and they got mad. We parted ways that afternoon and though I never heard anything more about it they must have gotten sick- that pan looked like it was licked clean.



• I've never eaten deep fried turkey.


• To make them look kind of pathetic some show I watched the other day had characters eating Hormel microwave turkey and dressing meals for thanksgiving. That is what I'm having.


• Am I pathetic?
