Thanksgiving = Food
I walked into my home this evening to the smell of pies baking. My wife spent this afternoon making three pies – pecan; blueberry; and cherry. Then tomorrow morning, she’ll make a pumpkin pie. Our house really smells good!
Early in the morning, we’ll start Thanksgiving Day out with cinammon rolls, eggs and bacon. Sometime around noon, we’ll stuff the cornish hens and get them in the oven. They’ll cook till about 2:00 pm, and then we’ll match the hens with a yam casserole, and we’ll eat the rest of the afternoon. We’ll finish off the day with the pies.
I love Thanksgiving, not only for its meaning, but for its fellowship as well. Christmas seems so hectic because of all the presents that have to be open. But Thanksgiving seems so pure and so much less commercialized. At Thanksgiving, everyone I know pauses to give thanks, and then everyone I know seems to take in about 5,000 calories in great food.
I am so grateful and thankful for my family and friends, for the blessings that I’ve received, and for the wonderful food that leads to wonderful fellowship that leads to wonderful memories that hold us over till the next Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving!
