Are you getting drunk tonight for Turkey Eve?
yes. it’s the potato party!
for decades thanksgiving was at my aunt connie’s house and it was a big deal with multiple courses and all kindsa fancy stuff. well every wednesday before thanksgiving, while aunt connie was putting the final touches on the house and all, the rest of us went to aunt candy’s where we would prepare the mashed potatoes. peeling them and mashing them and all that bit. only we weren’t peeling them and mashing them. we just ordered trays of mashed potatoes and brought them to thanksgiving the next day. half of us would show up hungover for thanksgiving.
thanksgiving isn’t at aunt connies anymore but we still have the potato party.
