Soft warm rolls. Cranberry sauce. Pecan pie. Some stuffings, too -- I'm sort of picky about them.<br /><br />My mom always made these carrots drenched in butter and brown sugar and covered in walnuts. While it's not my absolute fav, I always had them, and the dish to this day totally reminds me of the holidays. <br /><br />Oh, and while it's definitely not holiday-related in content, the song "I Know This Bar" by Ani DiFranco always gets me in the mindset of the bitterly cold days of the year... and that sense you have during the holidays to coming back home to an older version of you that you left in the past.lynhttp://anotherdamnlife.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105413472161620511.post-33910210722886850622010-11-22T19:54:32.292-08:002010-11-22T19:54:32.292-08:00My favorite foods are the green bean casserole and...My favorite foods are the green bean casserole and my grandma's pumpkin pie recipe.<br /><br />Favorite thing to listen to for Thanksgiving is Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10886446197691957028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105413472161620511.post-32657037415290479392010-11-22T18:40:41.472-08:002010-11-22T18:40:41.472-08:00ooh! you know what's weird is that...barely-sc...ooh! you know what's weird is that...barely-scratching-the-surface-weak-pop-hip-hop like david banner's "play" is what reminds me of the holidays...which is just terrifying.

It looks like we're going to continue our tradition of having a 2-person Thanksgiving this year, so we're just making Tofurkey, stuffing (from scratch... Thomas' vegetarianized version of his mom's stuffing), mashed root veggies, Brussels sprouts, and pumpkin pie. We always drink to many boozy seasonal drinks while we're cooking and have a fun day. We're classy!<br /><br />In addition to Neko Case (mostly Fox Confessor Blah Blah Blah), I've been listening to Laura Veirs obsessively all fall, especially July Flame. Check her out posthaste if you haven't! Totally not holidayish music, though... so I'll also recommend the Sufjan Stevens Songs For Christmas box set.Juliehttp://31-days-of-new.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105413472161620511.post-85372402479991043302010-11-22T05:43:59.983-08:002010-11-22T05:43:59.983-08:00Pumpkin silk nog--YUM.

(Slightly jealous...). <br />We have continuously done the bare minimum of holiday foods and then made a jillion pies. My favorites are the green enchiladas we make with the leftover turkey. And the pies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
