What are you serving this year?

By the way, I promised to buy my grandson the DVD "Happy Feet " for his birthday.
Which is on the Saturday following Thanksgiving.
I have a serious ethical dilemma here.
Maybe I’ll just have a Big Bird as** Clothahump** suggested.

Oops, I meant to say take him to see it.

As a fellow Thanksgivingish birthday, I’m going to request on her behalf that you have birthday cake as well as pumpkin pie. I friggin’ hate pumpkin pie, but for years my family stuck a candle in the damn pumpkin pie and called it my cake. Bastards.

Don’t you worry…I haven’t forgotten.
And yeah, she’ll be having cake…tomorrow, for the “friends” b-day party; Tuesday, which is her actual birthday; and on Thanksgiving, for the family party. Spoiled little so-n-so…

If anyone needs recipes for how to prepare their penguin, camel, whale, or what have you, you might want to check out this thread. I’m thinking about having a couple of the stray cats hanging out by my front door.

I’m baking a Coelacanth for the family.
They’re best stuffed with minced nurse shark meat that’s been marinated in apple cider vinegar and a mash of sweet plum and okra.

[reality hijack from coelacanth fanatic]It’s possible that one of the reasons that the, uh, aliveness, of the coelacanth was unknown for so long is that it’s a singularly untasty sort of fish, very oily. The people in the Comoros always threw them back until they found out that stupid scientists would pay them good money for them. They call them gombassa, which means something like "disgusting nasty oily fish.[/rhfcf]
I’m not having anything for Thanksgiving. Someone forgot to let the Bulgarian school system know that Thursday is a holiday and they scheduled me to work! Foo.

We’re having Native American for Thanksgiving this year, if only I can find one.

Perhaps.
Perhaps it does.
Kyla, I’m not a coelacanth fanatic but I’ve known about them since I was a small child. I wanted to see a photo of one, and eventually did- and bingo- larger more pronounced fore-fins. Missing Link indeedy. I wonder if the very oily texture of the flesh has anything to do with the development of the organism? Is it a dffense mechanism? Other predators would stay way because they taste bad? Or, is there something about the unique blend of organs and high oil content that assisted in their ascent onto land?
At any rate, I promise I will not be eating the focus of your fanaticism.
