It’s a tough time of year for vegetable lovers. Though food tolerance and experimentation has grown over the years, we’ve expanded our horizons (and our palates), and wandered over towards the less common food groups (how many here have still never tried a turnip?), it’s still not easy being green.
Don’t worry, though, I’m no hater. Carnivores and herbivores can be pals, of course, and even though this upcoming holiday is often times named after the main course itself, no need to sit by yourself at the outcast table with a plate of lettuce and a side of tears. Turkey Day isn’t just about the turkey!
There’s always dessert, girl. Couldn’t get your fill on mashed potatoes and succotash alone? While everyone else is in a turkey-coma, survey the desserts: this is your territory! Not a drumstick in sight. Unless one of your cousins is still riding the bacon-as-cupcake-garnish train (seriously, are we just about through with that?), let there be pie. And lots of it.
Happy Thanksgiving! And yes, gobble-gobble.
