We have Thanksgiving at 1pm because my inlaws are insane, so we always have the "what do we have for dinner on THANKSGIVING" conversation.

The tradition has become there's one Chinese restaurant that stays open until 9pm. So...
Tell me something that’s Thanksgiving tradition in your family that would be super weird to folks on the outside.

As the youngest of 9. 7 girls 2 boys. After eating the turkey and clean the kitchen, we girls and mom would get our jars of pennies and play penny poker. All night thursday, sleep a little on Friday then again until we went home on Sunday. Jokes, stories, food, laughter for 3 days. I miss this.

important to have at least a couple good friends who care enough to say something like “this substack makes you look crazy”

There are maybe twenty people alive whose personal capers can justify this level of intrigue, and Olivia Nuzzi is not one of them.

We listen to all 18 minutes and 34 seconds of "Alice's Restaurant Massacree" yearly, to ward off the draft.

Imagine how much more compelling this whole affair would be were we talking about Ryan Pizza and Olivia Gnocchi.

Autocorrect just changed “Ryan Lizza” to “Ryan Pizza,” which means for the briefest of moments, the man became interesting to me.

My father, every year as he finished carving the turkey, while holding up what he claimed was the turkey's butt:

"Who wants the part that goes over the fence last?"

Robust evidence of amusement was mandatory.

It's just my son & me. When he was young we were very poor so we did nothing but go to starbucks as a treat at 7 am, then for lunch & dinner eat deli turkey & pumpkin pie. Then we graduated to takeout barbecue for about 5 years. Now we go to a nice restaurant for Thanksgiving.

My mother’s family insisted that before we could eat the meal we had to slurp down a hellish combination of 7-UP, canned bananas, cherries, and grapes. My grandmother, a saintly and patient woman, became a beast every Thanksgiving walking up and down the table demanding EVERYONE SLURP UP AND FINISH.

My husband’s family would serve an antipasto course (cured meats and mozzarella and bread, etc), then serve a pasta with sausage and meatballs, then clear that away and serve turkey, stuffing, all the sides, etc.

We roll. After dinner but before dessert, we lay in the living room and slowly roll on the floor to settle the food. I’m no doctor but it WORKS!

As always, George’s threads are a source of immense economic knowledge. Another great one.
Beige Book word counts: uncertainty continues to fall as focus on tariffs declines, while labor markets offer a very mixed picture. Hiring was mentioned near the most frequently on record but layoff mentions also accelerating; that latter indicator has worked as a recession indicator historically.

I hope that the press finds a source about the DC shooting other than the White House because I don't trust anything they say. Not one thing.
