We’ve talked turkey and swapped recipes, so now it’s time to settle on the menu for Thanksgiving and head out to the grocery store. What will be on your table on Turkey day?
Here’s my menu:
Brined, roasted turkey with giblet gravy
Mom’s Thanksgiving stuffing
Mashed potatoes
Green bean casserole
Sweet potato casserole
Grandma’s Darn Good Salad
Cranberry sauce
Crescent rolls
Pumpkin pie
Apple-Cranberry pie
It was late summer, probably August.
On the hill across the road from my grandparents’ house in Bath County, the huckleberry bushes were loaded with little blue treasures and we were ready for one of grandma’s homemade pies. So my folks, my aunts, my sister and I set out to fill a bucket.
Aunt Cindy heard it first: the ominous rattling from under the same bush she was stripping. Looking down, she realized she was practically standing on top of a rattlesnake. Cindy, a cop who likes snakes about as much as she likes criminals, freaked out, unholstered her service revolver and blew the snake’s head off.
