The traditional dinner begins with a huge lasagna, containing over 100+ mini-meatballs, and the usual ricotta, mozzarella, and sauce. Desert is Mrs. Smiths spicy pumpkin pie, and homemade NY crust-less, all cheese cheesecake with espresso.

Well, Smoothie Dude, Here in San Diego, it's not so much what we have, it's where we get it. Our turkey is grass fed, our fruits and vegetables are all organic and the milk and butter we use in our baked goods are raw. BTW, no canned cranberry sauce for us either, homemade all the way. And it IS pronounced pacon.

[Sm00thOp3r8or]

wow,, thats good that you guys are still doing it the old fashion way...i am impressed...and enjoy your pacon pie..heheheh happy thanksgiving to you and your family, and thx for commenting
