Sorry to be a pain, but it actually is called a casserole.
It’s French for pan.

Marney may be crazy but you can’t say she isn’t efficient!

I bet no-one else is “looking forward to the 28th!”

Actually, Thanksgiving started during the Civil War. Lincoln saw that the union’s morale was dropping, so he declared a new holiday where people would stop and give thanks. The Pilgrims were more of a convenient reason for the holiday. Really it was a political move to keep the country behind the government (and not depressed) while going through the Civil War.

Personally, it is my favorite holiday! The most difficult holiday to make commercial. It’s just about food, family, and friends.

Tricia, I just read the replies below. I think your “definition” was hilarious. I’m pretty sure you weren’t attempting a college-level graded essay, so therefore you were trying to be humorous. PS: 9-11 was inside job.

“Now, while I do have quite a sense of humor and joke around all the time…”

Translation: I have no sense of humor at all, and have never joked about any subject at any time under any circumstances.

I would have told her to buy her own ice cream. What a cheapskate. And what did the Bob Byron family do to her to get such a long list. Turnip casserole (which I would make a huge casserole, with cheese AND cocktail sauce, 2 containers of ice cream (the gas station brand, cuz that’s not a store) and a case of water (generic soda, not diet, the kind with cans that require a can opener) and I would have showed up in costume, I’m thinking something like Joan of Arc would be suitable. I’d tell the hostess I was dressed as my favorite martyr and then comment that I see she’s dressed as her favorite martyr. Ahhh, there’s no place for passive aggressive behavior like the holidays.
