Well, I like duck as a once or twice a year food, but we got that at home, not at Thanksgiving. Fortunately, now I actually enjoy turkey a bit. But I normally skip most of the offerings and take a bit of turkey, mashed potatoes, a little stuffing, and corn with a slice of apple pie as a follow-up. Otherwise I pretty much ignore fall foods. Mr. Micah likes the Seattle's Best pumpkin latte, but he gets a small one and only one or two per year, so I don't scold. I always found Thanksgiving foods stressful.

LOL, I agree on your duck comment. Apparently some people use the bread crumbs at the pond to entice them in and then they snatch 'em! I love pumpkin pie with real whipped cream! I actually heard on Oprah that butter is better for your body because your body knows how to handle it where the fake stuff is hard on your system. Good tip on the cider as well.

Shortening will kill ya, and margarine just doesn't give foods the right texture or flavor. ..maybe try pumpkin cake or pumpkin pudding instead? Make your cider with no sugar added apple juice, have some protein with it to balance the glycemic index and drink up! Fun sized chocolates are not candy, they are medicine, and should be fully enjoyed for mental health reasons. Same goes for stuffing. Duck is not a food, it is a cute little animal to take your children to feed at the pond. Candy apples-not worth it. Try raspberry m&ms. Maybe chocolate dipped strawberries...there are lots better places to get 500 calories of fruit & chocolate than from a candied apple.
