Sure. So heartier sides for vegetarian friends. So that panzanella is great. You can leave out the turkey roasting juices very easily just a veg stock or really honestly, just even some water along with some vinegar to help soften. It is a really nice. Nice way it. You know throw some rusted butternut squash in there throw some all toasted almonds in there celery the you know, there's apricots that I was talking about Etc or even some fresh fruit. If you can find some plums something like that. Thinly shaved even apples something to have all these textural contrasts. But also this wonderful sort of interplay of Sweet Bitter crunchy all of these other things. There's a really nice and I think respectful way because it really is this Construction it's not just the side dish but it really takes stuffing something. You know, that's one of the centerpieces of the Thanksgiving table and turns it into this really thoughtful. Generous construction that's sort of been evolved or adapted specifically to their dietary needs. So I've always found that that is is a nice way to do. We've got a couple of vegetarian folks that regularly at our Thanksgiving table holiday table. So that's one thing that I do. You know you have time to to do often times to do a risotto something like that a side it side dish that can really act as a main dish. and also there's enough vegetable sort of floating around in the kitchen that to make a grain Bowl takes very little additional effort to have some quinoa and amaranth and barley whatever it is sort of simmering away on the back stove that just gets kept warm and fluffed and then is tosed with the roasted root vegetables, you know, maybe a nut vinaigrette Etc some fresh herbs all of a sudden you've Again, sort of taken the sides that are already on the table and made something completely unique and new and fun.
