"O young, naive one...you must know the golden rule of the kitchen. To avoid the mother of all disrespects...never criticize the cooking of a family elder."

Hamish Harris. The boy bon vivant.

"Oh, mournful and terrible engine of horror and crime—of agony and of death, not asparagus again!"

Get your no-turkey recipes here! Eco club. Go veggie for T-day! No thanks! I like turkey, sausage, stuffing, creamed onions with bacon and mincemeat pie. I figured as much. How can you tell? Gut check. That's my gut reaction, too.

"Darling, wait until you taste the new year's menu I have ordered for us!"

'It's just some Pour 'n' Serve, Stir 'n' Blend, Bake 'n' Slice, Mix 'n' Broil and Chop 'n' Simmer.'

Congratulations, dear! Your home cooked dinner was so good you'd think it was an expensive frozen entree!

'I'm thankful you didn't make turnips.'

"I bet you can't name one person who makes a better lengua casserole than me!"

"Tia Carmen, if you had a bucket list, what would you put in it?"

"That sister of yours sure has some nerve asking for those leftovers - we earned them."

"Dad's dinner really is melt-in-your-mouth...it's half frozen!"

'We thank you for this food and ask you to protect us from pesticides, additives and preservatives.'

'Thanks for inviting me to dinner - it's really great!'

'No, there's nothing else: At this time of year, we eat salmon!'

"Put on a tie. We've been invited to the castle."

'Not beans on toast again.' - 'No, toast on beans. I dropped it.'

'Well - how has everyone wasted time and energy today?'

'This year, I thought I'd try a self-basting turkey!'

'I lost the grocery list you gave me. So I brought home a few weeks supply of pizza.'

"It helps if you think of it as a turkey."

A family gets ready for their microwave meal on the patio.

"And he's a nutritional-support animal, too."

"Honey, will you let the dog in? When your 3-Bean Salad kicks in, I'll need someone to blame."

"Guys, remember, no feeding frenzy: Leave some for Grandpa to chew on..."

Master of the house states that he will be detained in the city on business when he learns that there is cold mutton for dinner.

'I'll be late for dinner - a shelf fell on me.'

"What's a good time for dinner, let's sync up our calendars..."

'There is something wrong with the spinach. It tastes good.'

'Never, ever give the benefit of doubt to a Brussells sprout.'

The Butlers Ball.

"Stop playing with your food and eat your dinner!"
