Some Like It Scott: The Thanksgiving Meal

November 23, 2006

Happy Thanksgiving! Today our guest blogger Scott tells us all about the meal itself. And other things he has to be thankful for.

Our Thanksgiving meals have always looked like Calvin Klein’s collection from the 1970’s Everything on the table is beige, not a green vegetable in sight. I think that growing up we all thought that whatever is done in our home is pretty much what everyone else is doing. (Unless of course you’re doing human sacrifices for Thanksgiving).

Our family’s philosophy was always that the more starch you could put on the table, the better for all involved (this is also good for your table cloth). I didn’t know that this wasn’t normal until my guy pointed it out to me.

Here’s a quick briefing on my guy and me – we are the poster children for hate crimes. He’s a six foot black man that was an altar boy and I’m a short Jewish guy who was bar mitzvah. On paper there’s no reason this relationship should work but it does and has for the past eighteen years. I was six when we started dating – (I’m kidding – what? ya think he’s a congressman?).
