I am fully functional in the kitchen, but haven't had much interest in cooking for a while now.

Do you have any special traditions or ethnic foods that you cook instead of the standard fare? Do y'all eat around the TV watching football? Share with us, please.
Smooches,

Oh! I hope you're doing OK, both leg-wise and hurricane-wise.

I think it's pretty much tradition; a half ham, mashed potatoes, stuffing, peas, and crescent rolls (which I can't make into crescents, so they look like little blobs). I also make my mom's lime Jell-O with Mandarin Oranges, which exactly no one likes but me! And of course, it's not Thanksgiving without Gherkin pickles and olives.

Also in the grand tradition, I spend all day cooking and setting up, for a mad dash at halftime and phoom! right back to the game .
