Thanksgiving Day Reflections

Well, it is post Thanksgiving dinner and I must admit, "I over did it again". My wonderful wife Joyce made her famous dressing/stuffing from scratch. I am going to contact The Food Network to see if she can enter that dish into a contest or something. It should be illegal to have more than a plate full of Joyce's stuffing around the house. You will eat yourself silly, especially if you have some delicious gravy with it. Oh my Lawd! We had a great time reflecting on how gracious the Lord has been to the Stratton family. Helena my 8 year old daughter made a sweet potato pie (with mommies help of course). I couldn't even eat one slice of that pie until a few minutes ago (4 hours later), because of Joyce's ridiculous dressing. My son Terrell was assaulting the many dishes that we spread on the table. His favorite seemed to be the rolls. Unfortunately those were not my Mom's (Blessed Bread). The rolls were Sara Lees but he killed them like they were shipped in straight for Wachapreague, Va (Grandma Florence's Home). Helena was nuts over her mom's dressing and rightfully so. So today I ask this question:

What was your favorite dish served at this years Thanksgiving dinner? And Why?

May God bless you and your family:)

  1. My favorite dish is what I call the green stuff. My grandmother would always make it and now my mom makes sure that we have it every holiday. She knows it's my favorite. My sister enjoys it as well but she likes her's with pecans. it has cool whip, marshmallows, pineapples and pistachio instant pudding mix and sometimes she puts coconut in it. It is so sweet and cool I love it in fact this year I took all the left overs home.
