Thanksgiving is a day on which we sit around the dinner table, unified as Americans. That means a lot of food.
That also means a lot of leftovers.
The issue of Thanksgiving leftovers is so prevalent, a single Google search of the term will trigger an avalanche of websites and catalogs.
With the looming threat of spoiled food only a couple days behind, Thanksgiving probably seems more of a burden than a celebration.
But fear not, the Catamount has got you covered.
