No, no.  Wife is the name for that person who makes more money than me and attempts to order me around all day (and night).

As part of your Thanksgiving menu, is it also tradition to watch Detroit and/or Dallas?  I don't think I can name a team that I care about less than Detroit but I have to at least watch some of their game.  Also...any suggestions for a punch that I can get everyone drunk off of so it won't be like watching paint dry at the in-laws?

Go old school.  Alton Brown will not steer you wrong.  Will put you on your ass with class!

Cape Fear Punch

Ingredients
For the base:

    * 750 ml rye whiskey
    * 750 ml water
    * 1/2 cup Demerara sugar
    * 3 bags green tea
    * 375 ml rum
    * 375 ml Cognac
    * 4 whole lemons

For the punch:

    * 2 small oranges, thinly sliced
    * 4 small lemons, thinly sliced
    * 2 (750 ml) bottles sparkling wine or Champagne
    * 1 liter seltzer or sparkling water
    * Ice block
    * Freshly grated nutmeg

Directions

For the base:

Pour the rye whiskey into a 4-quart container. Fill the now empty rye whiskey bottle with water, pour into an electric kettle, and bring to a boil. Add the sugar and stir until the temperature drops to 190 degrees F. Place the tea bags in the kettle and steep for 3 minutes.

Add the tea, rum, and Cognac to the whiskey. Peel the zest from the lemons, being careful to remove the white pith. Wrap the lemon bodies in plastic wrap and reserve in the refrigerator. Add the lemon zest to the mixture, and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

For the punch:

Strain the base into a large punch bowl. Juice the reserved lemon bodies and add to the punch bowl. When ready to serve, add the oranges, lemons, sparkling wine, and seltzer water; stir to combine. Add the ice block and serve with freshly grated nutmeg.

Dude....you just brought back some memories.  Yes I did and in fact, my moms was one of the ones that submitted that name when they had a contest to choose a new name for the store.  Normandale Shopping Center.  Cool place as a kid...unless moms was dragging you around shopping for Husky Jeans.

N.O. is still a good team this year. Dallas appears to be hot on Offense (even with Kitna) since Garrett took over. So the game is almost a toss up in the here and now, but I still lean to N.O. to win this game and hand JG his first loss. I will be watching, win or lose.
