Thanksgiving is a time for large meals with family and
friends. Do you have turkey, or ham or both? What type of dressing, cornbread
or bread? Do you have cranberries, jello from the can, homemade cranberries,
cranberry-orange, or some other traditional cranberry recipe? Do you have the
traditional (thanks to Campbell’s soup) green bean casserole? Are you one that
must have a mac and cheese dish? Do you fix potatoes, sweet potato or white
potato mashed or baked, or both? What about pie, pecan or pumpkin or both? Just think of the time to prepare the feast and
then how fast it disappears. Do you think that leftovers are the best part of
Thanksgiving dinner? Turkey or ham sandwiches are great the next day.
This year, we went totally unconventional for Thanksgiving.
There are just the two of us. Friends celebrate with their family and our
family is many miles away. Yesterday, I smoked a rack of ribs. One rib is
already gone to a taste test. Charro beans, potato salad, and broccoli finish
out the dinner. And of course, no meal is complete without Blue Bell ice cream.
With the storms crossing the country, we hope that everyone’s
loved ones are safe and warm and home for Thanksgiving.
