“Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.”
― Erma Bombeck
In prior years I have prepared an entire traditional American Thanksgiving dinner by myself. In more recent times it is a team effort of my husband, daughter and me. Our son is married and usually does not get involved in our preparations. This year we will be preparing the stuffed turkey and fresh cranberry sauce to take over to my daughter-in-laws parent’s house. My husband is happy as long I am making the turkey and the stuffing. The quote about Thanksgiving dinners rings true to me. I can remember cooking all day having my senses overloaded with all the aromas, then we would sit down and gobble up everything in minutes. I would think to myself All that work and it is over so fast!
Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

Notes Tied On The Sagebrush 
It would be nice, if people would use more time just to enjoy the food and not eat in a hurry.

Yes, I think it tastes so good that we tend to eat it up pretty fast. At least it seems that way compared to the time it takes to prepare it. 😉 Thank you, Irene. ❤

I’m glad it’s a team effort, now. Clean up should be, too. Enjoy!

I prefer simple meals. The turkeys might prefer it as well.

It is quite a feast and we only make it once or twice a year. The foods are so special and delicious. It is my family’s favorite holiday. Thank you, Frank. 🙂
