So where’s the gravy! Everybody knows that it’s all about the gravy. I’m bringing a jell-o (hell-o as it’s called in my family) mold. Which do you want, the green one or the red one? ---

I’m bringing stuffed portabella mushrooms. We need appetizers. Oh, and my homemade cranberry sauce. Made from real cranberries; no cans were harmed in the making of this sauce. Yum, I love T-day dinner! ---

\ Hokay, I’ve got a California blush that should go well with the succulent turkey **misstee** ’s preparing, and a good, sweet-but-dry merlot for after dinner sitting around chatting next to a warm, crackling fireplace. I’ve also got some sparkling grape for those that don’t want an alcoholic beverage. I can’t cook very well, but I can open a bag of chips or a box of party mix like nobody’s business. **misstee** , I need to put the blush in a cool place, but the merlot should be at room temperature to really enjoy it’s flavor. ---

Well I didn’t bring anything (nobody wants any of my cooking anyway). I’ll have some turkey, a big slice of ham some rolls…somethings’ missing. It’s just not Thanksgiving until my grandma cooks the yams with marshmellows on top…until they light on fire. they aren’t supposed to light on fire for those that don’t know this godawful dish [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/virtual-thanksgiving-dinner/211003.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/virtual-thanksgiving-dinner/211003.md?page=3)
