Avoid these fattening and just plain gross Thanksgiving foods
By LISA SPINELLI  |  November 25, 2009

Thanksgiving is a time for gorging on food and hanging out with family, but really it's mostly about the food: candied yams, deep-fried turkey or roasted turkey covered in gravy, cream of mushroomed green beans slathered in butter, stuffing, and don't forget desssert. There are some Thanksgiving dishes, however, that does take it too far and just makes us sick to our stomachs -- and we want to help you steer clear of those. Take this as the precautionary list of what Thanksgiving food you should avoid seeking out or making, your guests and your stomach will thank you.

No this is not the latest SPAM creation. This is what we call over-kill, literally. Twelve different types of poulty died for this ungodly concotion that will try to tear your stomach a new exit route. The 12-bird True Love Roast is an extra-large turkey filled with goose, chicken, pheasant, aylesbury and barbary duck, poussin and guinea fowl, partridge, pigeon (also referred to as squab), quail, and mallard duck. And just in case you're not sick yet, there's an additional eight types of stuffing shoved in there.

He's loopy from jet lag — which is unavoidable after a 20-hour flight from New Zealand (halfway around the planet from his non-residency at a squatted apartment building in New York City), where he's just finished a tour with his claim-to-fame band, Leftover Crack.

    In 50 states and 49 countries, the experience is the same: a placid sense of place, air suffused with the rich aromatics of fresh-brewed espresso.

  • Alternative universe
    In the 1930s and '40s, Boston painters developed a moody, mythic realism. They mixed social satire with depictions of street scenes, Biblical scenes, and mystical symbolic narratives, all of it darkened by the shadow of the Great Depression and World War II.

    There’s nothing more envy-inducing during a Boston winter night than watching a pack of surfers hit the pristine beaches of Tahiti. But beyond the warmth and beauty of the island, this film fails to deliver a cohesive message.

    The results are “normal.” I breathe a sigh of relief. But should I be relieved? It’s been two years since I heard a registered nurse tell me “You have HPV,” and I am still getting scraped from the inside out, still making appointments to see doctors, and still terrified that I’ll get cancer.
