I knew one weird German guy who celebrated Thanksgiving, and for some reason he invited me over every year to watch football (go Bazooka Sharks?) and sample his delicious Turkey. We had nothing in common (I don't do sportsball and his politics makes me stare into the horizon and sip beer), but gosh his turkey and pumpkin soup was great

I even think it's strange when Americans are into that sort of thing. It's downright spooky when others do it.

I'm happy to make turkey and pumpkin soup, and if you're over I promise I'll at least talk about actual weird shit - the tragedy of the Batavia, Crowley, that sort of thing.

the tragedy of the Batavia, Crowley,

a man after my own heart, I see!

Hell yeah. Been a while since I made cream of pumpkin soup though, I usually do a curry with pumpkin.

Just give me an Earl Grey, and I'll talk your ear off about the Earl Grey's reforms of the 1830s
