THANKSgiving

Sometimes I wish I could go back to thinking like a child.  It's so simple. 

Brooke was very excited about Thanksgiving and I asked her what she was looking forward to most. "Sweet potatoes and stuffing."  She then asked me the same.  "Hmmmm...  sweet potatoes ...leftover turkey pot pie (though not as good as Tita Beth used to make) and I really can't think of anything else.  I don't really like Thanksgiving food.  We don't have the stuff I enjoyed as a kid."  I went on to explain how Tita Tessie's stuffing had chestnuts and celery and Ate Nene's stuffed mushrooms were made with cream cheese and bacon."  Then she asked, "Well then why don't you make it the way YOU like it?"  Hmmmm.  Why DON'T I? 

So I'm revamping my Thanksgiving grocery list!  If I'm feeling really nostalgic I may just pick up the ingredients for Ede's cheesecake!
