[HPFGU-OTChatter] food

Susan:
So, it's that holiday in the U.S. that is focused on food...

what about all those amazing feasts in the HP universe? One of the
great things about the movies is visually seeing the feast...
that Halloween feast in the first movie was a magickal and amazing
delight...of course, NOW we know that it wasn't "magic", it was the
poor oppressed house elves making the feast.....sigh....

So, in our house, the feast is turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed
potatoes, sweet potatoes, broccoli, celery stuffed with cream cheese
and roquefort cheese, cranberry sauce, bread, pumpkin and apple pie
with vanilla ice cream...not made by the house elves, but by yours
truly, Mommy,
what is it like in your house?

Sharon:
OMG I am SO jealous!!!! MyDear Spouse is from N'Orleans and we lived there for 5 years after we got married and I LOVED lovedLOVED all the holidayts but especially Thanksgiving. My MOL is a fantastic cook and we would have turkey (of course) with stuffing, candied yams, english peas and mashed potato, with lots of pecan and/or pumpkin pie afterwards.  *****SIGH***  Now we live in Australia, where of course NOONE celebrates thanksgiving and plus it's HOT this time of year, we have sliced turkey from the deli, cranberry sauce and SALAD..... I made a pumpkin pie once but it just wasn't the same....

But wait--I though Thanksgiving was the LAST Thursady of November, which would make it next week?
