Notes: Granny and Da's house always smelled so good at Thanksgiving. The kitchen was a very busy place. There was plenty of talking and working to prepare the Thanksgiving meal, which we always ate in the middle of the day. The dressing always seemed to be the center of the work, but it does take a lot of chopping and mixing. There was a table in the center of the kitchen, that we ate on normally, it was where we did most of our preparing of the meal. Anybody that wanted to could help, even the smallest would be given a job, so we could learn. We would mix and taste, add something, mix and taste and repeat until we all agreed it was just right. Then on Christmas Day it would all be repeated again!
