Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

See?

I'm having Thanksgiving dinner with Big Mike, and will be bringing two dishes; Ginger Glazed Carrots and Scalloped Oysters. My dear old mother used to make the glazed carrots every once in a while, and they are quite nice. As for the oysters, my paternal grandmother loved them and provided a large dish twice a year - Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Years later, as we had Thanksgiving at our house, my mother refused to make the oysters due to the cost. Shucked oysters aren't exactly free. People complained, so mom compromised and made a tiny amount - not nearly enough.

Eventually things returned to normal, but only after a lot of argument. So, have a great thanksgiving holiday, eat too much, drink just enough so that you don't have to drive anywhere (they're getting serious about that drunk driving business these days), and don't forget to argue over politics.
