A Desert Thanksgiving ©

Thanksgiving in the Arizona Desert is just like everyone else's Thanksgiving Day except maybe a little warmer than in some of the other states.  

It starts out with a big juicy browned Turkey Bird! The stuffing is made with so much butter you can almost say it melts in your mouth!  The gravy is deep brown due to all the drippings from the bird as it cooks slowly for hours, releasing smells that are coming your way before the bird is ready to be served with all the traditional sides.  Buttery mashed potatoes, candied yams with so much butter and brown sugar you thinking you are eating dessert!  Squash--also dripping with butter and brown sugar--can this dinner really be healthy?  Lets see, there is the jello salad with pineapple and whipped cream, and there are the carrot sticks, pickles, olives and nuts. Oh,

and don't forget the apple pie, the pumpkin pie with the fresh whipped cream, and sometimes the pumpkin bars with butter and cream cheese frosting, and maybe even some early Christmas cookies.  So many calories, so much preparation and so much time but oh so worth it once everyone is sitting around the turkey with their thoughts of what they are thankful for.
