for me, thanksgiving marks the beginning of yet another holiday season. a time that people like to set aside for being happy -- as if they shouldn't strive for that on a daily basis. the trouble is, people expect everyone to be happy, and that just doesn't always work for me. this year in particular should be an interesting one.
thinking about "turkey day", probably my fondest memory of the event was the one time i spent it at my grandmother's home. all of the aunts, uncles, and cousins were there along with a lot of food. i mean A LOT of food. there was more stuffing, freshly mashed potato and gravy, corn on the cob than even i could possibly eat. and i can eat a lot of that stuff, especially when it is real. by real i mean made from scratch. none of this dump the box's contents into a bowl, add water and stir crap. shucking corn the day before, getting the peas out of the pods, snapping green beans -- i remember that time very well. it was a good day that just happened to fall on thanksgiving.
