This Thanksgiving my family went turkeyless (or should I say "cold turkey?"). Nobody really likes turkey; yet we've always felt compelled to uphold the Thanksgiving tradition. This year my daughter asked, "Why?" and on the spot, we decided to have a non-traditional holiday. We decided to go to Central Market and buy whatever. We chose salmon, almond-crusted tilapia and some kind of chicken breast my daughter liked. For sides we bought a cranberry and kale salad, a fruit salad and green beans with carrots and chestnuts. And my son contributed a pecan pie. And know what? The meal was delicious and we were just as thankful as ever. I imagine we'll continue our new tradition in years to come.
Anyone have a quirky Thanksgiving food you'd like to share? Feel free to comment.
