In all my Baby Bunching Thanksgivings.....all 5 of them.....not one has been bad. Do you know why? Because the turkey and all the accessories are comfort food.
Whether you're battling the kids or battling your own parents, nothing says 'stop-and-be-thankful-and-enjoy-the-feast' like Thanksgiving food. We've done potluck with friends, small and quaint with neighbors and big time with extended family and no matter how you slice it, poultry and it's seasonal accouterments can send the soul into a rare heavenly place. It's one of the few times of year where eating (or overeating) is expected, the plate can be starch heavy, the kids can accepatably wreak havoc, the dinner can be in stages standing up and the desserts can outrank the main course.
Thanksgiving, after you get past the preparations, can be the perfect dinner of starch and dessert. Eat up, be happy and give thanks for your Bunch!
