Good morning jespasinthru
Have a safe and enjoyable holiday.
Jellied cranberry sauce that’s shaped like the can it came out of. You poke a hole in the bottom of the can to release the suction, then open the can and slide the stuff out. Then slice it into discs. Yummy! And that great dessert that my Grandma makes out of whipped cream, crushed pineapples, walnut pieces, cocoanut crumbles and vanilla extract. With some bright green food coloring added just to make it pretty. She calls it “ambrosia”, and it is very tasty. And then there’s collard greens, macaroni & cheese, hot homemade biscuits, sweet potato pie, deviled eggs, the turkey with giblet stuffing, I could go on and on. Half of the fun of Thanksgiving dinner is getting together with the rest of your female kinfolks and cooking it up. Making a presentation out of it. Because when you get it right and please the whole family with the feast, it makes you proud.
Wonderful imagery there, Jes. I don’t suppose a whole lot of people admit to liking collard greens...but I sure do! We ate a lot of ‘em while growing up, along with beans cooked with a ham bone.
Perfect! Thanks for sharing.
