I don’t know exactly what I was expecting. This was one thing that shouldn't have been a surprise to me. This was my first Italian Thanksgiving meal in quite some time and there are so many options! Why can't this be the official way we celebrate Thanksgiving in New Jersey. Instead of boring, dry, turkey. Oh, and in some places, they fry the turkey without letting the poor thing thaw out. 

Then boom, a turkey bomb. That's just not safe. Or delicious. Now, at this Thanksgiving there were meatballs! Yes, meatballs. In delicious sauce. Did I mention lasagna? Thick, hot, lasagna. Piled high on my plate, and inside meat and cheese all layered together. (Now I'm hungry again.)
