Thanksgiving Preparations

I don't know about you all, but the week of Thanksgiving, I have to do a little prepping to be able to put away a humongous dinner and desserts smorgasboard in one day. I mean really, it's the equivalent of several days eating condensed into just a couple hours, you've got to be ready. And I don't mean by not eating. No, those of you who eat really healthy, or eat less the week of Thanksgiving to prepare for the extra indulgences, well you're just screwing yourselves over for the big day.

How are you going to fit turkey, casseroles, sides galore, and several kinds of pie into a tummy that's been shrinking in size for several days? Not going to work. The real Thanksgiving masters, we stretch our stomachs in preparation by eating lots of large meals before the big day. That's right, eat more in order to eat more. Hey, anything for the spirit of Thanksgiving.

The people of Bottlerocket Wine & Spirit are on the same page. They want you to prep not only for your holiday eating, but for your holiday drinking as well. This coming Saturday, they are having a workshop from 2pm-6pm at $10 a person that allows you to sample their wines paired with Thanksgiving favorites like turkey, stuffing, and of course dessert. All proceeds go to City Harvest, which could not be more appropriate for the holiday. Get the details here.
