And I forgot to even mention the pies. My aunt always had pumpkin, cherry, apple, and mince meat. She baked them all the day before Thanksgiving. <br /><br />We always did the turkey made from a handprint thing, too. I think it is a rite of passage. I never mentioned it because I thought you meant "special" type things.quillyhttp://quilldancer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-89155871866295515142010-11-19T17:28:24.629-06:002010-11-19T17:28:24.629-06:00What would we do with out the Macy's day Parad...What would we do with out the Macy's day Parade????<br /><br />My grandma used to make a fruit salad very similar to that only the whipped cream was already stirred in, it was more like a congealed salad but it was fruity, fluffy and very delicious!<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving<br />RRobin Lambrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12408265939620170615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-58506045707577567322010-11-19T15:12:10.655-06:002010-11-19T15:12:10.655-06:00Enjoyed your memories.

I think I'd miss the leftovers! Of course my Mom is the one who does almost all the cooking, I think she likes it though!bphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09884081028227999883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-42764133500110321822010-11-19T08:42:41.345-06:002010-11-19T08:42:41.345-06:00I mentioned those hand-print turkeys, too -- must&...I mentioned those hand-print turkeys, too -- must've been the thing to do back then!<br /><br />That's so odd that your request didn't register with your mom. I know there are things my kids think I brushed off that I don't even remember -- I hope not too much of that happened, though! Maybe she just didn't want all the extra meat from the turkey without the extra people there? Seems like she would have said that, though. But I am glad you have some great memories.Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-91359542076856624602010-11-19T07:46:06.946-06:002010-11-19T07:46:06.946-06:00Dressing, stuffing--I don't care.

Even to the point of when the folks get old then eat out. Buffets preferred.<br />..<br />You wrote it up very nicely. Thank you for sharing.<br />..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.com
