It happens every. single. sundaybeforethanksgiving.

Technically its called the Annual Thanksgiving Side Off and Dessert Scramble.  Insiders call it Fake Thanksgiving.  This is a fierce, fierce competition.  Guys cook and name Thanksgiving Side Dishes and Girls cook/bake and name Desserts for the evening.  There’s drinking, there’s turkey frying, there’s shit talking discussion about recipes.  Once the turkey has been cracked open, eating commences.  Generally seconds will be had by most.  And then..DUM DUM DUM DUNNNNN DUNNNNNN….Voting begins on the Election-tron.  Yes its very high-tech, voting can be done via polling stations if available or via iPhone or Blackberry.  Results are calculated and followed by a Lou Holtz impersonation (trust me, it’s funny) and winners are announced.

It’s serious fun and it’s seriously yummy. TRUE STORY.

Do you have a holiday tradition with friends?
