The Purple Stuff is neither Baltimore nor Canadian. It’s a Danish dish. It’s red cabbage cooked with butter, sugar, and vinegar, and it’s YUMMY. Goes very well with turkey. ---

> [@GingerOfTheNorth](#): > > So it might be time to discuss who will bring what. As always, we’ll do turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, dressing (yes DRESSING, it’s not going in the bird), the ubiquitous purple stuff. There are Canadians coming so there will be Butter Tarts. We’ve got a shelf full of liquor which doesn’t get touched the rest of the year. > > So, we’ll need: > > Pop/soda > Beer > chips and snackies > plates, cups, napkins > dessert-type things > > I can’t think of anything else right now. Can someone post that they’ll take care of these things, and then whatever else anyone wants to bring we’ll add as we go along? I’ll bring paper goods. I will have you people know that Dope the Halls is the entire extent of my holiday jollity. So make it good! 😉 Robin ---

I think twikster is taking care of the diet **POP**. Maybe a mix of Sprite and Coke? I don’t know, I don’t drink the stuff unless it’s ginger ale, and only then once in a blue moon. ---

> [@GingerOfTheNorth](#): > > Maybe a mix of Sprite and Coke? I once knew a guy who drank that. I can’t imagine how nasty it must have tasted. I can bring a menorah, too, but you do know that Chanukah doesn’t start until after Christmas this year, right? I could also spring for chips and possibly some type of dessert. ---
