A Thanksgiving List

  1. Favorite Thanksgiving Food

    Whole ripe olives. I refuse to buy them for myself so that they remain a special treat found usually at Thanksgiving or other big meals.

  2. Favorite Thanksgiving Memory

    Leon Lett fucking up the game in the snow against Miami. That was glorious (especially after having just completed a 6 hour shift working a buffet).

  3. Least Favorite Thanksgiving Food

    Sweet potatos or yams. Awful, foul, evil stuff.

  4. Least Favorite Thanksgiving Memory

    Probably this.
UPDATE: My God...having to eat, smell or even see those hideous things every week?




Wow. You might be the only other person in America that will admit hating the sweet potato/yam abomination besides me. When I was a kid my parents were sure these orange lumps from hell were good for me and we had them at least once a week. I used to cover them with cinnamon in a desperate yet unsuccessful attempt to render them palatable. As well, my parents were food tyrants who insisted I at least eat one bite before shoving the mess into the garbage. I tell you I had almost as hard a life as a starving African child, only I guess you could say it was from the other side of the food spectrum.

On the other hand, I have had sweet potato fries (not from canned, but real sweet potatoes fried like regular fries) and they were not bad.

A friend accidently bought potato chips made from sweet potatos. Nearly caused an upchuck.

I'll say loudly and proudly that I hate yams...always have, always will. Pumpkin too. In fact in preparing the t-day dinner, I bought myself an apple pie whilst the hubby made the pumpkin. And I'll be eating a fresh green salad while they eat yams. Yech!!!
