@BiggE I don't know what the seven fish are all about, but I have warned you about death farts - you are going to f***ing kill somebody if you eat seven fish. I wouldn't even eat seven, and I WANT to kill everyone.

It's a specifically Italian-American thing. Other than Christmas' at my in-laws, I think we've had it every year on Christmas Eve for my whole life. It comes from a Southern Italian feast that I believe represented the wait for Baby Jesus.
Do you capitalize Baby in Baby Jesus? I went to public school.
I wouldn't think you should grammatically, but it never hurts to be careful - Hell is very, very hot. Worse than Thailand (allegedly).

Yup, it can be any seafood: mussels, oysters, clams, calamari, etc.. plus a fish or two, lol.
Of course, being Italian, pasta, bread and wine must always be included!

Wigilia doesn't include that many fish, typically, but it does add pierogi, challah, and various and sundry other sides. Twelve dishes. With a family as small as mine, that's a week's worth of leftovers. But you need that much food to get past the taste of the oplatek.
I never was as fast as the dentist, this is true.
@Beef Invictus I just caught three minutes of "Young Sheldon" after the football game. You need to hate-watch this actor who has outgrown the role, but kept all the mannerisms. It's truly horrific.

We hosted for a couple of years pre-pandemic. She tried to go full rogue. Didn't want to make turkey but ultimately relented, and she found a killer recipe for homemade cranberry sauce, but also ended up making a bunch of dishes that are not traditionally found on a Thanksgiving menu, all from scratch: onion soup, hollandaise, gratin dauphinois, a semifreddo, etc.

I'll let you in on a secret, just as spaghetti bolognese is unknown in Bologna, this festivity is also unknown in Italy.
The good thing about hating Thanksgiving food is that you tend to lost weight as everyone else balloons.
We start the day with @Hollywood Cannon on the clock with all his picks to make, @mja on deck, @Rebels57 on the lido deck, and GKJ on the lido afterdeck.
I hate to say it, but yesterday's food was actually pretty good. I think it's because I put that creamy orange jello salad (whatever it's called) all over everything. I also had some delicious pudding pie. So I have no complaints, aside from my proactive complaints from yesterday, all of which are true the vast majority of Thanksgivings.

Yep! That’s why I said specifically Italian-American. You have to be both or it makes no sense.

Spent most of yesterday at the hospital. Figure to do the same today. A conversation at Thanksgiving with my family led to a diabetes diagnosis for the middle child. My wife spent the night with him, and I'll be headed back over soon enough, so I'll just get this last pick in if you don't mind.
I remember quite well sitting down in front of the family TV as a small child, twisting the dial to channel 12, and watching Mr. Rogers with wide-eyed wonder. Obviously, I'd have love to have gone with Mr. Rogers here, but sadly he's already taken for something else.
But when I was a little older, there was another friendly TV neighbor, inspired by Mr. Rogers, that caught my attention. His resiliency and sense of humor in the face of crushing poverty, crime, and systemic racism make him an excellent fit for a Flaming Zeppelins organization built on facing all manners of disaster unbowed.

@Rebels57, Hello Neighbor!
I am basking in the cloudy autumnal cloudiness today, like an umber leaf resting on the ochre back of a squirrel eating a nut.
We start the day with @Rebels57 on the clock, @GKJ on deck, @Lord Defect drooling on the lido deck, and BigToe on the lido afterdeck.
I watched a really grim and dour Iranian film last night called "Holy Spider" (2022). It's about a female journalist in the holy city of Mashhad who is trying to track down a serial killer going around killing sex workers, and the tension between justice and the many people who see him as a hero for "cleaning up the streets." It's a good film, but that society is f***ed.

Found a dead squirrel on our front step yesterday. Just dead. Not mangled etc. I think it pisses itself in its last moments because when I picked it up with my garbage bag glove there was a wet spot underneath itI am basking in the cloudy autumnal cloudiness today, like an umber leaf resting on the ochre back of a squirrel eating a nut.
