Thanksgiving FIASCO

So the thanksgiving break is approaching fast, and every year it winds up being a bigger party bash then New Years Eve. It is statistically known also that this is very much a true statement through-out the United States. My Thanksgiving Eve bash always starts off with my friends and i pre-gameing at either my house or someone else's. But this year we have something much better. We have a friend whose family owns the bar in my town and we go there now and just get hooked up. She makes us any drink we want and she even adds her own little flavor to it sometimes. By the time we are all set and actually ready to go out, everything looks kind of blurry. This is not so bad because once we do get to the bar we usually go to, called C.B. Driscolls, we will not have to go deep into our pockets to buy them five dollar drafts. Funny how the prices go up on holidays. Where is the early Christmas spirit people? It is a great time every year also because we always get a good amount of people to come and we all just get real sloppy and call what is called SAFE RIDE. For those who do not know what safe ride is, it is a company, simaliar to a taxi service however, they only pick people up from bars who are to intoxicated to drive. They have a 10 mile radius as to how far they will go, which is perfect because my house and all my friends are exactly that, maybe less. What makes everything such a good time also is the fact that we all get to see each other again after being away at school for months. It sucks sometimes when you and all your friends go to different schools and have different vacation times. Hence the reason why thanksgiving and Christmas are so peachy. Everyone comes home for that.
The next day of recooperation is thee day of the big fat turkey. The turkey my mother usually gets is pretty big. That baby barley fits into the dam oven. And its really funny seeing everyone not eating all day and starving watching it cook. Which is why god invented football. When every year my DALLAS COWBOYS play on this holy food day. So to keep our minds off the food my uncles cousins and rest of the family drink massive amounts of beer and watch football so by the the time the game is over we are kinda of messy and ready to pig out. My usual routine consist of Eating about 5lbs of sweet potatoes and about 10 lbs of this all so famous German dish my grandmother used to make t perfection called SPETCHLE. This dish is a type of beer battered noodles with homemade croutons and you pour massive amounts of gravy on top of them, and wash it all down with an ice cold brew-ha-ha. So yea i am pretty excited to cause havoc on this upcoming break.

That was interesting to read; never heard about SPETCHLE, but sounds as very delicious meal. Enjoy your holiday!
