Back in the 80s and early 90s when we often had 30 to 40 guests over for Thanksgiving Dinner, Kathleen would choose a huge bird (always a Jennie-O) to feed the throng. That meant she got up at 5 a.m. to get the turkey prepared and into the oven by 7.

Eldora will look much better
several hours from now. |
After she'd concocted her dressing and closed the bird, she'd slip back into bed for a little snooze and Stan would then awaken to the distinct aroma of sage and fresh onion drifting from his mate's side.
Our bird is much smaller now and we get up later, but the smell of the dressing mix still brings fond memories of early Thanksgiving mornings.
Record warmth for Thanksgiving Day today, hope you have record warmth around your table where ever you are.
Happy Thanksgiving from Stan and Kathleen
