Thanksgiving

So, Turkey Day is upon us...almost...what are the travel plans for everyone? Who is going to be in Tulsa? Who is staying in their respective cities?

I know if you are in Tulsa you are, of course, welcome to our table for the celebration. Dinner is typically around 2 PMish (just let Delia know how many!). Some of the more traditional items for our meal include: Turkey (duh!), Becky's Mash Potatoes, Green Bean Casserole, Sweet Potatoes, Canned Cranberry's for Jamie (and others), Roads Rolls, Gran's Pumpkin Pie (her recipe) and Sarah's Apple Pie - plus much, much more! So, come join us!

Thinking of Thanksgiving brings back great memories for me of trips to El Reno to see Granny Ricker, the smell of Turkey as Uncle Jack carved it, Granny Ricker directing everyone in the kitchen, playing in the yard with my cousins after the meal, driving with Bamma and Boom-Boom to El Reno watching the Macy's Parade on their portable TV, Granny Ricker's pumpkin bread with butter, hearing family stories...and so on...and so on....

So many times I wish I knew what Thanksgiving was like with Minnie and Oscar as immigrants and new thankful citizens. What did a Lebanese Thanksgiving look like? What would they say they were most thankful for?
