Silver Thanksgiving Questions
How many Thanksgivings do you
attend? Just one. I don't personally know anybody who attends more than one. Though I do enjoy that two-part episode of Will and Grace where the gang attends five. (It was on Thursday as I was getting ready to go to my own Thanksgiving.) Where do you attend Thanksgiving(s)? The Weber Grill Restaurant on North State Street in Chicago.
What is your favorite dish? At the time, it was the pumpkin pie. Though now I am reliving the sweet potatoes. I remember them with great affection.
What is your least favorite dish at Thanksgiving? This year it was the turkey. I wanted to try an oven grilled bird and I'm glad I have. But I thought it was a little salty.

ReplyDeleteEating out and with people who care about you sounds truly gracious and wonderful. The "Parental Enduro", as my ex bro-in-law used to call it, is easier now that I'm older, the worst of them died, and the grand kids are running it. They are lovely kids. I'm also deafer, lol.
Fun read! Thank you!
