Another Wonkette Thanksgiving Classic, for Thanksgiving. And America. Here is your bit of "DC gossip" for the day: a Jell-O dessert recipe, for the holiday of Thanksgiving! It is Mamie Eisenhower's famed Red Scare Thanksgiving Jell-o Dessert and it is best served chilled, to family members you hate. (There is Mamie right there with "friend" Lenora Hickok, feeding each other Jell-O and giggling knowingly.) This vile thing is exactly what the Eisenhowers used to force-feed the Soviets, and it is
Um, <i>Lorena</i> Hickok was Permanently Most Awesome First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt&#039;s squeeze. So who&#039;s the giggling fox up there with Mamie?
<i>Tell Me Again Why We are Driving Nine Hours to See People We Both Hate Spiced Pumpkin Pie</i>
1 &frac12; cups seething resentment
2 Tbs I thought you said we were just going to do a quiet Thanksgiving at home this year
1 &frac34; cups don&rsquo;t start with me, just don&rsquo;t
10 minutes racing through the aisles of a seedy gas station convenience store off of I-95 just as it is closing
1 pumpkin pie purchased with wadded up dollar bills you were saving for tolls
And it wouldn&#039;t be TG without Mom&#039;s famous<i> &quot;Everyone Get the Hell Out of the Kitchen Right Now Before I Kill All of You Cranberry-Orange Dressing&quot; </i>
Really? I like to watch it when I need to feel better. We're both talking about While You Were Sleeping, right? Funny, how people can have very different reactions to the same thing.
Yeah, back then it would have been 7-up or nothing!

That makes it perfect for Thanksgiving, most of which is bogus. But it makes us happy.
My personal favorite TG traditional dessert:

Good times....
I love that movie. I shouldn't, but I do!
American cuisine is DELICIOUS.
FIFY.
How could anyone dislike Mamie Eisenhower???
But do we get Alice at the end? That’s what I want to know.
Good idea!
Every First Lady gets a lot of sh*t heaped on her.
But MAMIE EISENHOWER??? She was as good a person as could ever be born!
I love that move too! No one in my family likes it, but I don't care!
I use that one when I need to cry. Never fails me!
That FLORIDA, baby.
The Everglades were a happening rockin' far out place with the soothing croons of Sedaka wafting through the palmetto and cypress trees!

Yes! When they keep missing the connection it just kills me.
