My tongue has a boner after reading about all the food you cook.
My mom cooks ham the same way, YUMMMMMMMY.
The plan is to stay home with the folks, have some fam over, eat til you have to unbutton your pants, eat some more, go puke, eat more, sleep, eat more, go get stomach pumped, eat more, ect ect ect and fit football in there somewhere.
I love cooking for Thanksgiving. I forgot to check for toothpicks, damnit. I make a lot of food and always invite like everyone over plus family.
