Dom Giordano Column - Partisan Thanksgiving Tips

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- I hope your Thanksgiving dinner was a great time of family, food and fun. That sounds like the normal American family enjoying one of our great holidays. This however defeats the vision of the American family that the Obama Administration and the Democratic National Committee share.

In the days before Thanksgiving, they issued their annual talking points on how to deal with what deemed "Your Republican Uncle."

Can you imagine people actually using a great holiday to argue Ted Cruz's position on some trade policy?

I think my Thanksgiving experience was much more that of the average American. We went to Roe's relatives and talked about the miserable game played by the Eagles, family updates, who had to work on Black Friday and Roe's car being stolen.

The highlight of the dinner was the Brussel sprouts. They were great and I raved about them, and the two women who had cooked them in a pleasing way were thrilled. I promised to mention them on the next radio show.

I did that on Friday and immediately I've been crushed by demands for the recipe. Here is the recipe: Get 1 lb. Fresh Brussel sprouts, use 3 tablespoons of butter, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, teaspoon sea salt, fresh cracked pepper. Cut the sprouts in half by cutting off the bottoms. Cook at medium heat until tender. It will be a hit.

So this holiday I got a great recipe and a great family time. I wonder what Thanksgiving dinner was like with Debbie Wasserman Schultz?
