Thursday’s Toffee Bites: Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s matchday and Thanksgiving day all in one! If you’re in America, enjoy your day! Hopefully Everton don’t ruin it for you. Granted, the game doesn’t mean much, but going out of Europe on a more positive note would be appreciated.

I don’t know about you, but I will be loading up on ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie. But keep the cranberry sauce away from me. I don’t need that can-shaped, overly sweet garbage taking up valuable plate real estate.
