I've gone to the "Find your local CSA sites" and found nothing, as well.

In years past, I've purchased the grain-based Celebration Roast but we've never really cared for the sausage stuffing. So, we're just doing without this year. I make a mean cornbread stuffing (in a pan), awesome mashed potatoes and turkeyless gravy, orange yams, and smoky green beans.

More and more I work to create rituals with real meaning as I reject the obligatory ones. This is primarily because most national holidays have become unrecognisable (compared to origins) and deeply saturated with consumerism. <BR/><BR/>I am honestly not trying to be reactionary or contrary for no reason.
