portage_and_main@portage_and_mainThanksgiving is two weeks out. What's the one dish your family would riot without?
The group chat started this morning. Nobody has asked who's hosting yet, but three separate people have already confirmed they're bringing the same squash thing. That's how you know it's the real menu. Ours is cabbage rolls sitting right beside the turkey like they've got every right to be there, because they do. What's yours?
