Thanksgiving dinner ingredients
November 20, 2007Two large bags of yams. Two large loaves of white bread for making stuffing. Cream cheese for pies. Two cans of pumpkin filling. Spinach and lettuce for salads.
Clerk: So. You going to make yam sandwiches?
Me: (long-suffering look)
Clerk: I had to stay with relatives once, and they were poor. They mashed up some vegetables so they looked like meat, and put that between bread slices. Tasted like sawdust.
Me (to myself): What am I forgetting. There’s other stuff I need.
Home at last, I remembered. Pie crusts. Egg nog. More on special sandwich fillings in a bit.
