Stewart revealed that she came down with food-borne illness at the [...]

Denny — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 09:30:01 +0000

I think there is a reason that most people eat turkey once a year: you realize on the second day of leftovers that it’s just not that good. In fact, I think it ranks right up there with Spam. Seriously, I look forward to turkey the week before Thanksgiving, but I guess I”m suppose to. [...]

What are You Thankful For?

Kids, this time of year really makes you think. Or at least it does, for me. I thought I’d take a second and sit down and really think about what tomorrow is supposed to be about. I don’t think it’s been much of a shock to anyone reading this or who has lived in the [...]

We heard the average gluttonous American will consume some 4,500 calories this Thanksgiving Day, according to the Calorie Control Council. However, that statistic may be a bit exaggerated—unless your idea of a holiday feast is about 16 slices of pepperoni pizza with large soda chaser, that is.
