Thanksgiving, this holiday ranks right up there with all my other favorite holidays. I don't really have a favorite though, they're all good!
Thanksgiving always brings back warm memories and yummy smells from childhood.
My mom would "dress" the turkey very early Thanksgiving morning.
I'm sure she cooked that poor bird for days!
Before she would stuff him, she always did a formal introduction that always made me giggle.
She would shake his leg and introduce herself;
"Hello Tom, I'm Dolly. Please pardon me as I stuff your insides with goodness. I'm going to make you very tasty!"
She just couldn't get so personal without proper introductions!
I've since tried doing the formal introduction with my turkey.
All went well until my darling daughter declared that she couldn't eat a bird that I personalized with a name and introduction!
Well, I guess she gets Thanksgiving Tacos and we get the bird!
Ha, that sounds like someone actually flipped us "the bird!"
No bird flippin, just ,moist, juicy, tender, aromatic, tasty turkey.
Here's to a tasty Tom bird, pumpkin pie with lots of whipped cream and a nap in front of the fire!
We have added the annual tradition in our family of voicing what we are thankful for each year.
Here are a few precious ones of my own:
