Veggie "chicken" nuggets taste just fine to me. "Chicken" chicken nuggets don't actually that much chicken in them (and probably some TVP to boot), so I rate them about the same as far as texture and flavor go.
They're good.
Just not Thanksgiving good.

I don't have to cook, since my kids do it all. (That's why we have em', right? So they'll eventually do all the cooking for big meals like that)
Going to my youngest daughter's for thanksgiving. Should be better than last year since my mother won't be there. Or my ex-husband. (At least he shouldn't. Though who the fuck knows anymore, I didn't think he'd be there last year). Then again, it's supposed to be a really full house. Which means we're going to have enough food to feed an army. Because an army is pretty much going to be there. (All my kids, all my grandkids, some of my children-in-law's family too. At least 40 people I think, which is fucking nuts)
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

Two turkeys: One 19 lb turkey and one 14 lb turkey
Homemade smashed potatoes
Candied yams
Green bean casserole
Corn
Homemade dinner rolls
Homemade apple pie, chocolate pie and pumpkin pie
Cranberry sauce
Gravy
Stuffing
I wrap my turkeys in food grade cheese cloth, cook upside down for the first hour, flip it then cook it right side up the rest of the way. I do not put the stuffing inside the turkey as I don't think raw juice from the meat running into the stuffing is safe (no matter what the inside temp reaches).
By the way... I was able to obtain the two turkeys, fresh, not frozen, at 68 cents per pound, instead of $1.99 per pound. I didn't have a coupon but the store manager happened to be setting the turkeys out at that time.
What's everyone else having?
That sounds good enough to me. What time should I be there and I assume you prefer red wine but let me know if I should bring a white too. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.

Are you Klingon? I know they have some funky mating rituals. She didn't knife you, did she?

Sounds like a blood sport to me, or it would be with my family.

Shit.... I have enough to cook for 6 people (all with hearty appetites) and we'll have leftovers for a good while.
W'ist you know me too well. I actually do prefer a red wine over a white wine. The drier the better, but since this is turkey and generally gets paired with a white wine, the one I selected wasn't too dry. It's by Dark Horse. I got two bottles since no one else drinks it here.

Think you're the kind of man that would make her want to be a better Klingon woman? Is she vegetarian, I can't imagine you hooking up with a vegan somehow. Believer, okay, but someone who wouldn't eat what your dog chases down? Unimaginable.
