Glad you're doing that, Lou. I'm sure the turkey will be greatly
appreciated!

I will eat 1 slice of turkey (well covered in gravy), after that I don't
want to see it again. I've just never liked it. I always make sure that
there are plenty of side dishes I do like, so I never suffer the holiday.
<g>

Our office has their annual Thanksgiving "pot luck" on 11/16. The company
provides baked hams and roasted turkeys. Employees bring everything else,
and I've never actually seen so much food in one place at any one time.
(It's a very large office). It's usually a very nice time.

Have a great holiday.
