I love thanksgiving. Probably my favorite holiday because it is the one time we stop celebrating what we want, and celebrate what we have. People putting family first in their lives again.
I love the southern treat...Deep fried Turkey. Had my first one about 10 years ago and it is the best, juciest turkey I have ever had. Shrimp stuffing, to die for. did the cajun thanksgiving last year in New Orleans and my friends mom made all these deep stabs into the raw bird with a long knife. She then stuck a piece of garlic into each hole, and then put a jalipeno in the hole after the garlic. when it was cooked...unbelieveable. With the big 'ole ass glass of sweet tea, greens, and topped off with mincemeat pie. TOO much. Falling asleep after eating and watching all the football games. Fighting your sister and brother for the white meat. Having the turkey sandwich smothered in mayonase at 11PM, knowing you shouldn't, but it's thanksgiving, so you can get away with it. Waking up the next day knowing the weekend has only just begun and you have tons of free time to relax and hang with your family. Absolutely my favorite hoiliday.
Question to the neighbors to the north. What traditional foods do you all eat when celebrating your thanksgiving? Just curious.
