[Nfb-krafters-korner] FW: southern thanksgiving

[Killian]

Linda and jill,
You are so right on  these things.  Those 3 pound butter bowls come in handy 
for those leftovers. And taters anyway you can fix them go over extra well 
in our family. Deviled eggs is a must!
I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving day!

>
> Sometimes in the South, we put a different spin on those traditions that

> tell us which ones you'd add..
>
> 1. We put gravy on everything, from turkey and dressing to potatoes and
> bread.
> 2. It's dressing, not stuffing. In the South, we don't bother sticking
> it inside the bird because, you know, we're going to eat it.
> 3. In many Southern families, deviled eggs are a traditional
> Thanksgiving dish.
> 4. Not wasting food is an art form, or a game of one-upsmanship,
> depending on the family. The bottom line is, whoever can mix the last
> remaining leftovers into a tasty dish, wins. For instance, we might make
> cornbread into a "salad" or put sweet potatoes in our cornbread.
> 5. When you think you have enough casseroles, add one more (usually
> made from all the leftovers).
> 6. We can suspend anything in gelatin and we're proud of it. Bananas,
> strawberries, bits of pineapple and grapes are common items you might see
> suspended in Grandma's Jell-O salad but what about ham? Or green olives? 
> At
> some point, people have tried it,

> according to the Huffington Post.
> 7. We serve giant platters of pickled foods. Our relish trays might
> include pickled okra, pickled peppers, pickled peaches, pickled asparagus,
> pickled onions, pickled watermelon rinds and even pickled eggs. And that's
> not including the variety of pickled cucumbers - dill, bread-and-butter or
> sweet gherkin.
> 8. It's the only day of the year when eating four kinds of potatoes -
> sweet, mashed, scalloped, potato salad - is not only accepted but
> encouraged.
> 9. We cook with Coca-Cola because ... why wouldn't we? Southerners make
> Coca-Cola cake, Coke-glazed ham and a delicacy known as Coke salad.

> 10. On our coasts, we make dressing with oysters..
> 11. We don't put leftovers in those pretentious matchy-matchy
> containers. That wouldn't be practical. Instead, we save the margarine 
> tubs
> and Cool Whip containers and use them to hold our leftovers.
> 12. Dressing is made from cornbread.
> 13. From all proud Southern craftersJill, I found this on an Alabama
> sight.  I tried to send it to this list and it won't go through.  Will you
> forward it for me?  Have a wonderful day!
