There are many holidays that come our way each year, some big, some small. Thanksgiving is one of those big family gatherings that invoke scenes from Norman Rockwell paintings. Yummy smells start coming from the kitchen for several days as cooks scurry around, preparing masterpieces that are shared only on this most special day.
The day is set aside as one to give thanks for our many blessings, our families, our freedom, our country and to honor those brave men and women who traveled to this strange land to set up a new world where we could have all these things.
And to eat lots of food.
At least that is how the menfolk in our family look at it.
We hope that everyone has a great Thanksgiving, spent with those you love - both the two-footed and four-footed variety. The girls will be helping me (they call it helping, I call it hovering around my feet) as I prepare the dinner for our family.
Christopher is cooking a turkey in the Traeger grill this year. He's getting pretty good at producing yummy meals with that thing.
However, just to be on the safe side....I am doing a back up turkey in the oven.
Call me unbelieving, call me nonsupporting. Or, if the Traeger turkey doesn't turn out so well, you can call me brilliant. Either way, we will have turkey.
Perhaps LOTS of it.
Happy Thanksgiving to one and all!
