“Fried turkey, I fry the turkey,” Carlos O. Alvarez said. “Always my favorite. I love how it puts me in a food coma shortly after. I’ve kind of almost mastered it. I love frying our turkey. The treasurer at the school makes a green bean casserole to die for. Those are my two favorites.”

“I love corn and I’m not the one that makes it, my husband does,” Anjoli Gallo said. “It’s [made] in a slow cooker so it’s a dish with cheese and a white sauce. I do like the cranberry in the can [too]. All the other stuff I love homemade, but there is something about that canned cranberry. I love it.”
