Halloween is the start of the
holiday seasons for many, but
Thanksgiving is the beginning of
the marathon cooking binges that
many of us go on during the year.
This time can be one of two
things, either an enjoyable family
time, or a nightmare for one, you
decide!
Thanksgiving and Christmas usually
mean family get togethers, and
lots of food, call a family
conference in advance, include all
of the cooks (men and women) that
will be attending and decide on
your menu.
After the menu is decided on, each
family member chooses what they
would like to bring. This allows
each family to provide what they
can afford without feeling like
they must go into debt!
Of course, you can always bring
more than you choose, a favorite
pie (if it hasnt already been
included in the menu), but this
method guarantees that all of the
basics are there.
Without any one person being
responsible for everything, and
without having 6 different green
bean casseroles!
Different families have different
basics for their holiday meals;
some have turkey, while others
prefer ham, some large families
like both!
Many families have traditions that
they follow year after year, these
are important to continue
generation to generation.
However some of the basics for a
Thanksgiving feast are:
*Turkey and stuffing
*Honey glazed ham
*Green bean casserole
*Pies, pumpkin pie (remember the
jack-o-lantern), mince meat,
apple, pecan, the varieties are
endless
*Mashed potatoes and gravy
*Corn on the cob
*Salads
*Cranberry sauce or whole
cranberries
*Jell-O molds
*Fruit cake, (they arent all used
as doorstops)
*Drinks, sodas, spiced drinks,
milk, tea, again, the choices are
endless
*Rolls and breads
*Cakes
There are as many different foods
at a Thanksgiving dinner as there
are types of people, enjoy and
keep the traditions alive, maybe
create a few new ones this year!
