Happy Thanksgiving 2013
Thanksgiving Day is a holiday celebrated mostly in the US
and Canada. It is the 2nd Monday in October for Canada and the 4th
Thursday in November in the US. Some other countries have similar holidays.
Here in the US most families all get together and have a
feast of turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, dressing, sweet potatoes, vegetable dishes, cranberry
relish and some type of good bread. For dessert pumpkin is the traditional pie
to serve.
I am not that crazy about turkey but usually have it for
Thanksgiving. Being married for 47 years the wife and I have eaten a lot of
turkey dinners over the years. Early in our marriage it was spent mostly with
either or both parents, so some years we had two Thanksgiving meals. My
favorite way for turkey was getting a turkey roll from a fellow worker. He
de-boned a whole turkey tying it in a roll with seasoning in a cooking bag. It
was the best tasting turkey I ever had, moist and tender. It was also easy to
slice and serve.
Most cooking blogs are busy showing their favorite method
for doing a turkey or their favorite side dish.
I took the easy way out this year and just ordered our feast
from Bob Evans restaurant; a Farmhouse turkey feast for four. It is a slow
roasted turkey breast with all the trimmings. Our son and wife and the grandson
will be here with us. It will be nice to just sit back and relax and enjoy for
once.
Hope all of you who celebrate Thanksgiving have a great time
and enjoy some good food!
