Thanksgiving Dinner

In my e-mail to the youth group yesterday I talked about my favorite food at Thanksgiving, Cranberry Sauce, and I wanted to post on the FBCyouthblog so my thoughts on cranberry sauce could be forever cemented in cyber space.

I have always like Cranberry Sauce, not the fancy kind that is kind of like loose sauce with bits of whole cranberries in it, my favorite kind of Cranberry Sauce is the Jelly kind straight from a can, the kind that when you open the can you turn the can upside down and let the cranberry gel slide out slowly from the can, the kind that still maintains the shape of the can including the indendted rings at the center of the can.

I can never get enough of this stuff, no matter how full my plate is there better be room for Cranberry sauce on the plate. And in case you were wondering there is no mixing cranberry sauce with other items on your plate, like you may be able to do with mashed potatoes and corn or turkey and stuffing, this kind of cranberry sauce must stand alone. When I was a kid if there was any cranberry sauce left in the bowl after dinner was over, that sauce was finding its way to my plate, then to my fork (or spoon) then to my mouth!

Those are my thoughts on Cranberry Sauce!

Order of favorite thanksgiving food Favorite to least favorite.

Cranberry Sauce
Mashed Potatoes (with lots of butter) no gravy
Pumpkin Pie
Pickles from the pickle dish (no olives)
Green bean casserole
Squash or sweet potatoes (why when you have mashed potatoes)
Turkey
Stuffing

I was thinking about some spiritual application to conclude this post, but instead its just about food. Don't forget to be thankful on thanksgiving!
