Gee, thanks Kathy, I feel full just reading that lot!  I thought turkey
featured so that will do for me to make here!

Now, "Pass that Mountain Dew" and I'll really be happy!

> Hi Carol,
> You had asked in an earlier post what the traditional Thanksgiving dinner
> is over here in America and I haven’t seen any other answers so I guess
> I’ll step up to the plate, so to speak. The dinner varies a bit depending
> upon where you live. For example, in the north east, where I live now,
> they will add lobster and in the midwest where I used to live, there
> would be vennison, that’s deer meat, added, but the basic meal kind of
> goes like this. I think that Matt would use his cheese log as an
> appetizer, but the main meal is turkey, because it was plentiful in the
> new world, stuffing, cranberry sauce, probbly because cranberries too,
> were so abundant in Massachusetts, and then the vegetables are the ones
> that you think of most commonly in the fall, squash, turnips, (yuck
> personally), mashed potatoes, corn and then pumpkin something, usually
> pie for dessert. Oh Yah, along with the stuffing, there are all kinds of
> breads and I will be serving rice pudding tomorrow as a throw back to my
> Swedish heretage. Some people also make a green bean caserole, but I’ll
> probably be serving them straight because I won’t have any room in my
> oven..
> After eating, most people can hardly move so you lay on the couch and
> watch football, fortunately, my favorite team is playing tomorrow. Then,
> somehow you have to muster the strength to clean up the kitchen, make a
> soup or stew out of the turkey bones and find a clever way to put all the
> left overs into the fridge.
> Enjoy, and happy thanksgiving to you across the pond as well.
> In Him,
> Kathy
