"Who ordered the double chocolate parfait with a cherry on top?"

'I'm worried about him, he eats his vegetables, but not his dessert!'

"I envy you, but my dietary requirements make it difficult for me to travel..."

'Thanksgiving's no holiday for turkeys or the women who cook them.'

"Can you turn these mashed potatoes into french fries?"

"The wine has subtle hints of expensive pretension, but it's balanced nicely by the screw cap."

"I don’t know, Margaret. She looks like the type who makes exotic stuffings."

"Can you reinvent the classic grilled cheese for me?"

"Actually, it wasn't so bad. One minute I was standing in line at the slaughterhouse...The next thing I knew, I was being basted in my own juices..."

"When it comes to turkeys, Mom, you sure know your stuff-ing."

'A hacker broke into our computer and, in an act of human kindness, deleted your mother's recipe for peppers and meat loaf.'

'I couldn't find my measuring cups, so I had to kind of wing it with the stuffing.'

"We'll just have the loaves and fishes. . ."

"All good things must come to an end...unless I use both of my giant-size super-pots."

"You're close, but you're not the record. The record for one family in one booth—all from out of state, each ordering a complete breakfast—was set in 1978, with fifteen."

"Mom told me to make my vegetables disapear."

"Mother will never be able to rest on her laurels. If they're green, she'll cook them."

'For the last time, Megan, she won a blue ribbon at the Imperial Valley Fair... I mean, my hands are tied here.'

Because of bad weather and lots of people moving slowly on the path, it took forever to get here! Everybody was picking up a pumpkin on Wednesday. There was a huge crowd and long lines at the pumpkin patch. My brother and I can't be seated together today. We'd argue and disagree about who should run the village council. After this huge meal nobody's gonna want to stick around and clean up this mess! If they're still having this celebration centuries from now, I'm sure they'll have worked i

"Forget George, he scarfs down everything in sight. Aunt Rose and Grandma are good for slipping us a slice. Most important, the kids are sloppy. We're bound to find some juicy scraps under their chairs. Stay alert!"

'After you with the camouflage.'

"Tonight, we'll be eating hot dogs with a mustard-ketchup-and-pickle purée, accompanied by peas lightly sprinkled with ketchup. Then fettuccine al dente with a ketchup sauce, followed by applesauce maison with a dollop of you know what!"

"So...that's B11, C8, F5, and A3?"

"Oh -- just scrape it off."

"That's not fair. I do not only visit you once a year on National Asparagus Day."

"I mean, he does have a point."
