Oh man you guys, it’s officially one week from Thanksgiving, which I has to say is maybe my favorite holiday. Not only do I get to bake several pies for several different lunch/dinner parties, but I get to hang with my cousins and my aunts and uncles and cool people I don’t get to see the rest of the year. Also, every time Thanksgiving rolls around, I wonder to myself, why in the world don’t we eat turkey and stuffing more often? Like, shouldn’t this just be sandwich regulars?
