I wouldn't want to have to clean up Bubba's mess after Bubba is done digesting that burrito.

Soooooo not healthy :-x

@julie--hilarious.

This is why I own a cat, who can take two hours to finish 3 oz of water.

I know I don't want to be walking that dog in a couple hours... Ugh.

@Michele - At least the pitbull had good taste. :-)

I once watched my friend's pitbull eat an entire wedge of pecorino in about the same time. It was still plastic-wrapped. Needless to say, that was not a happy dog some hours later.

Reminds me of my teenager. Scary.

Started with guo tie and xi jiang tiao before the main meal. As an antipasto, there was a spicy mound of thinly shaved fuqi feipian followed by the pasta course of liang pi. Gluttonous, I snacked on zi ran chao yang rou jia mo on the side. In lieu of turkey, I had a bit of Peking Duck, finishing up the meal with samples of fruit-flavored jerky, red bean cake and scallion pancakes. Thanksgiving doesn't end after the first meal, of course, so I ended up having seconds of besan and kaju barfi followed by cocktails and vegetarian sushi. Thanks to Serious Eats, I was able to turn what was to be a solitary Thanksgiving into a culinary adventure in Flushing.

I made:
2 sweet potato pies
2 pecan pies
1 derby pie
1 large pumpkin cake
1 large cornbread
2 whole wheat challahs
1 almond poppy seed loaf

My mother made:
More turkey than I could have imagined (1 20-some lb turkey and two large breasts) and gravy
Massive amounts of stuffing
Roasted root vegetables
Green salad with apples and fennel
Mashed potatoes with carrots

We shared duty on:
sauteed zucchini, mushrooms, and onions
carmelized brussels sprouts

With drinks: raw almonds roasted with e.v. olive oil, sprinkled with fleur de sel; gougeres (from Roses Bakery); tiny empanadas filled with ground beef and apple chutney and celery with creamed cheese (Janis).
At the table: Naragansett turkey, salted the day before, 10 minutes after FedEx dropped him off, brought from the fridge about 2 hours before going into a 400' preheated oven, slathered in Delittia buttered cheese cloth, oven temp. reduced to 350' after an hour (thanks Alice W. & Julia C). A dressing made with cubed, stale rustic bread, sauteed onions & celery, thyme and parsley from the garden, and sausage (I made J. C. recipe). Make-ahead mashed potatoes (Pioneer Woman, potatoes from our CSA farmer). Gravy made from the drippings of a previously roasted free-range turkey, using turkey stock and stock from a roasted capon (wow, what a flavor boost, and thanks to Brooke29 for the post that inspired me to buy slow cooker!). Riced yams and a molded salad with raw cranberries & vegetables (Anna). Roasted vegetables (Beth). Creamed onions (Janis). There were bowls of cranberry-currant-walnut sauce (M. Stewart) with Gran Marnier added, cranberry, shallot, dried cherry compote, cranberry, quince chutney (SE, Lidia B), and pickled peaches. There were a number of bottles of white and red wine brought by our eight guests.
After a pause, there were pies from Roses: Bramley apple, pumpkin, and pecan along with the pint of cream mentioned elsewhere (almost ran out!). There was Billecart-Salmon Rose and coffee, later.
