Thanksgiving in America - November 27th

[TeePee]

Those old books are special to say the least, especially when they wrote or glued cut out recipes in them. I got my Grandma's old cookbook when I was in junior high after she passed. I told Mom I wanted it & nabbed it before my cousin could. In high school, I found a mint condition one at a second hand store that said 1913 which would have been a few years after she & Grandpa married.

Just a thought, do you think a pan of water in the oven would add some moisture in the oven when a bird is roasting?

I've never tried it . but heard that it could.

Thanksgiving at my sister's house. Part of the table is missing with the fried turkey, macaroni and cheese and either lamb or ham. Also rice, gravy and greens. Pictured are my niece and part of her significant other (may he R.I.P.). After the table is cleared, out come a couple of kinds of cakes, pumpkin pie and/or apple pie, cheesecake variety and ice cream.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.

Growing up, we always had the kids table in the kitchen, the grandparents table in the living room, and the rest of the family in the dining room, maybe a young couple at a tray table in the den.

Today, it’s just me and my memories but I’m good with that.

I would much rather spend the day alone with my memories than be the odd duck in the corner at someone else’s family celebration.

There is a lot of pathos in that photo. In one year and ten days after it was taken, our nation would be attacked by the Japs and some of the young men seated at that family table would be swept into military service.
