Salad for dinner every Thanksgiving. Mom is not lactose-intolerant, but her kids are.

She makes turkey, creamed onions, whipped potatoes with milk, pureed squash with butter, butterflake rolls, and pie with butter in the pie crust. Best Thanksgiving: she tried to deep-fry the turkey and destroyed it. The Unturkey I brought that year saved the day!

Love you mom, but please let me bring a dish!
