Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for November 30, 2023

Turkey has tryptophan… but not that much.

I’m thankful I was not at their Thanksgiving. Very, very thankful!

Pretty much normal Thanksgiving for the Otterloops.

And how it turns everything else on your plate maroon, too.

I sometimes make a beet pasta with goat cheese which comes out a lovely shade of fuchsia. It’s delicious but really, really Barbie. My husband loves it so it’s become my go-to for Valentine’s.

Eew, beets.

I love pickled beets and they are at every holiday meal along with my favorite Scandinavian Party snack, Pickled Herring with dill.

Interesting description by Dad!

My sister-in-law served red cooked beets that were in a sealed package… and they were GREAT!!!

does anyone know if Alice’s Grandma is her maternal or paternal grandparent?

You can’t beet casserole.

I miss Richard Thompson!

Awwwww,all together…..☺️❤️

A most excellent centerpiece, Alice! The Man in the Moon is jealous for sure. Yes, Petey, you can lose consciousness by eating turkey, especially if the wishbone gets stuck in your throat. Dad, whatever you do, don’t look in the toilet bowl tomorrow!

Looks like Petey inherited his pickiness from his father… I wouldn’t beet it either :-)

I remember one Thanksgiving many years ago when we served organic beets. We had to remind people that if they saw red in the toilet for the next few days that it was normal.
