Go to anyone's house this Thanksgiving, and each person will have a Role. A Purpose. A very important Duty. Through the years, families carve out (pun intended, as always) functions for each person: Turkey Carver. Pie Baker. Eggnog Drinker. Uncomfortable Comment-Maker. Turkey Dancer.
What? No one in your family is the appointed Turkey Dancer? You don't even know what the Turkey Dance is? Let me demonstrate for you in my first-ever blog video:
You see now. The Turkey Dance. Very important. And maybe a little sadistic. But I believe it is also the reason our turkey is so tasty every year.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Gobble well.
A message from Ella, age 7: "Dear Mrs. B.-, Your turkey dance is great. I think we should do one next year, but this year guess what? My dad did not explode cooking ours!" Happy Thanksgiving! (-:
