Pumpkin Pie is pretty damn good We didn't even have Turkey this year. We realized that none of us like Turkey outside of the sliced kind for sandwiches, so we went another direction. Brisket, cooked to perfection. Garlic mashed potatoes. Garlic corn. Sweet rolls. Green beans cooked with bacon. Basically an entire delicious meal that contained little of what a typical traditional Thanksgiving meal contains, yet still as equally un-healthy and satisfying. And did I mention it was amazing?
