What’s up fishes! Today we’re discussing the house guests that are arriving from across the city, state or country to share a big roast turkey, or Tofurkey or whatever it is that graces your table. We think it’s a good idea to set some ground rules so the dinner table doesn’t turn into a Crossfire style shouting match. Remember what your grandma told you. Don’t discuss politics or religion. We also discuss things to do that AREN’T centered around food or a meal.
