FIGMO's Follies

:{D} Wow, Lynn. I just made part of this same rant to Beckett this morning. That's too funny. The radio station we were listening to had a report from some psychologist, saying that the reason that people get so excited about the Thanksgiving food is that we only have most of those things once a year, and that if they were served once a week, nobody would be impressed by them. (The [obviously brainwashed] radio guy said "She wants to serve a Thanksgiving dinner every week? I want to live with this woman!") I then spoke of how I thought the only saving grace of Thanksgiving dinner (other than biscuits and potatoes that you see year-round) was the pumpkin pie (although I'll agree that it's a concept I never would have come up with). Turkey is edible, but really mediocre fare: certainly nothing to get excited about. "Oh, you're out of pork, beef, and chicken? Well I guess turkey would be OK, then." I always preferred the years when we had ham.
