we will 'celebrate' or 'enjoy' a thanksgiving holiday this coming week. well i guess it all depends on how one looks at it?!........
my mom made every birthday and holiday special for us kids, and thanksgiving and christmas were her finest hours of slaving in the kitchen for the food she prepared and placed on the table. lot's of memories and lot's of recipes passed down. we didn't have it so good in the beginning or when i was younger, but she always made any birthday or holiday special.
i am grateful and thankful for many things in my life. sure been through a lot of things, as we all have.
i have not had the heartache that jack or neil have suffered from.
my youngest brother's wife was recently diagnosed with a rare bone cancer and is now in seattle receiving a stem cell transplant.
my heart is heavy. she is awesome. she is a great wife, a great mother, a great friend, and an awesome sister in law to keep my brother in check for about 40 years........
i am in charge of the turkey, i put it on the charcoal grill every year. this year i might change it up a little with a different rub or seasoning.
nothing like a turkey on the grill unless you are proficient at putting one in a deep fryer.
sorta tried this with a couple of my brothers, sometimes it flew sometimes it didn't, so i just stick to the grill........
my mothers/grandmothers/great grandmothers sweet potatoe pie. i think i gain weight just looking at this recipe.........
mr. is in charge of the dressing, the garden mashed tators, gravy AND my favorite, 7 layer salad. he does like and enjoy cooking when i allow him in my kitchen.....
can't remember what else?
oh wait, a bloody mary or two.......
what is everyone else doing for thanksgiving?
btw, i wish everyone a great thanksgiving, enjoy and enjoy your family and friends!
