Cooking both turkey and lasagna for Thanksgiving was like being bilingual — but in culinary terms. Because our whole family ate together at least once a week, Thanksgiving was not significant as a gathering. You didn’t have to confess before Thanksgiving and you didn’t have to fast, although many wished they had. Good: Don’t eat them.
