Food and Tradition

[browngirl]

This should be a long inspiring entry about the ways Thanksgiving food traditions are created and recreated, and maybe one or more of you, my eloquent friends, will append such a lovely comment to this brief note. But I am kind of low on words today, so I'll just say that tomorrow's celebration,which will likely include a traditional side dish from my childhood, a traditional dessert from Tigerlily's, and Wolf's mom's traditional cranberry-orange relish, is already filling the house with delicous scents and my heart with anticipatory joy.

Or something.

Isn't the burbling of a bambina the best sound in the world?

That's my favorite kind of Thanksgiving - the one that brings different people and their own traditions together, and turns them into one feast. I'm having one of those myself tomorrow, and it fills me with that same joy.

I've got turkey stock going in a pot downstairs for gravy, and my mother on the phone sounded like she was 16...;-)

Ah.. I have the zucchini bread, pumpkin pies (yes, plural, we have it for breakfast the next day) and cranberry relish all set. I am going to make the butternut squash later on tonight too. Anything to keep the day from being crazy.

I am so missing getting to spend Thanksgiving with my chosen community... I always spend it with my relatives because it's Mom's birthday week, and she definitely deserves to be happy then, but sigh, it's not the same as the various grand gatherings I've been invited to elsewhere.
