[Nfb-krafters-korner] FW: southern thanksgiving

Sat Nov 28 22:47:03 UTC 2015

Hi Y'all,

I love this post, especially about the plastic containers used.  I should show it to my family.  They are always laughing at how many containers I have saved from margarine, sour cream, yogurt, frosting, cottage cheese, and the list goes on; even those from Chinese restaurant soup (those are the best for sealing). lol  Thank you so much.

Annely

 Hi Henry
 No we don't have a day solely to give
 thanks. We do have a few political
 public
 holidays as well as Easter and Christmas.

 Thanksgiving is a day filled with traditions.
 Although they might differ
 slightly from
 family to family, the main pastimes stay the same:
 cooking
 turkey and dressing, overeating and
 watching football.

 Sometimes in the South, we put a different spin
 on those traditions that
 might make them
 seem odd to outsiders. Take a look at the list below and
 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.

 ipes-using-the-classic-soft-drink/> Click
 here for recipes.
 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!
 14.
