[Sca-cooks] Thanksgiving.

[Susan Fox-Davis]

Mum "retired from cooking" a couple years ago and I was bequeathed the 
Thanksgiving duties.  I was going to inflict the fearsomely 
complicated-but-incredibly yummy Thompson Black Turkey upon my blood 
family, but Mum just bought a Butterball and I don't think it will work 
with one of those pre-injected critters.  Grrr.  

Lessee.  Turkey, gravy, sweet potatoes, dressing, jello salad, 
gingerbread are required by family tradition.    Our family's jello 
salad uses lime jello, shredded cabbage, chopped apples and walnuts. 
 Due to a death, an illness and a divorce, all three of our former usual 
I'll-Just-Bring-One-Dish ladies won't. Drat.  Jared wants to add Pecan 
Pie to the dessert tray, which suits me fine.  I'll have to make a 
mincemeat pie, "as seen on Food Network" since I have over a gallon 
still aging in brandy in the fridge.  I need to finalize salad and 
vegetables.
