After years of all of the men not helping at all with Thanksgiving, my wife's female family members refuse to cook for us anymore. So I am going to cook, cause I was a line cook at a diner for 2 years. But I refuse to in any way take on the mental load.

Any ideas for things I can cook that completely go against all family traditions? I was thinking steak instead of turkey, though everyone loves turkey.

Also, I refuse to make a casserole. I don't care how much they like it, I won't do it.

I cut onions for the culinary and spiritual benefits, but I hate when my eyes water.

Would it be too much to wear a spacesuit to prevent that? I figure if it’s good enough to protect astronauts from the soulless, empty vacuum of cold and unfeeling space, it’s good enough to protect me from Vidalia onions.
