Thanksgiving Day Meal...

[skysidhe]

I do like the getting together with family and friends but the over abundance of food seems out of place in our modern society. When this country was founded people were hungry and pulled all their resources to make a feast. I know there are some poor people who this tradition means alot too ..for they may have even more reasons to be thankful which would enclude a special meal that isn't always available. As for the rest of us it is just an other excuse to eat. I'd rather eliminate the eating and just hang with friends and family.Traditionally As a family we either pull together and do potluck style or the job falls to the one who isnt working. As far as food I am thinking less could be more. I havn't figured out what that is suppose to look like because that damn turkey is so ingrained in our psyche. I could I NOT want a little turkey?

For me...to provide a service such as handing out food boxes to the poor would give me a much better appreciation of the occassion. That's the way I would mess with him. ( the turkey)
That said I think I would like to try a deep fat fried turkey someday .
