Ok, I can’t be the only one who is already planning what to bake for Thanksgiving, can I? I feel safe in saying that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year, mostly because of gravy and stuffing, TBH.

For now, Julia has 21 days to decide whether she accepts an administrative sanction or requests a hearing before the FEI Tribunal regarding her situation. [Samourai du Thot Drug Results]
