::AND THEY CAME WITH A SPORK! ::

Thanksgiving. Ah, the food. The family. The laughter.

Members of my immediate and extended family all live pretty close to Dallas, so we see each other at least every month or so; about twenty of us gathered at my aunt's house for our Thanksgiving luncheon, but about that many will be at my grandma's tomorrow for the December birthdays celebration.

This year, I made a pumpkin dump cake (which I refer to affectionately as "pumpcake"), and my brother Josh made fried-mashed-potato balls. My dad fried a turkey -- yum2 -- and the leftover grease was used to turn the potatoes, cheese, and crunchy batter into a dreamy, artery-clogging treat:


I brought Jones Soda Holiday Pack, which featured such yummy carbonated flavors as Brussels Sprout with Prosciutto, Cranberry Sauce, Turkey & Gravy, Wild Herb Stuffing, and Pumpkin Pie. Strangely enough, my brother brought me a Holiday Pack, so we had two sets. Heh.


If you ever get the opportunity to consume these sodas, don't. The only tolerable one was Cranberry Sauce. The rest made me glad I don't have a strong gag reflex. Especially the Brussels Sprout one. Honestly, I don't know if I'll ever have a pleasant reaction to their distinctive photo-featuring bottles.

UPDATE: Ookami Snow has a better review, complete with video! Link.
Comments:
I agree, if you need to puke, try the sodas, if not, skip them.
