Some people just do things right. So it is with Bill and Susan, they cook a classic Thanksgiving turkey to perfection. Some years it works out that we can accept their invitation to gather at their table with family and food, and so it came to pass this third Thursday in November, 2016. Mighty glad to join up with Sue's brother Bill and wife Susan along with oldest daughter Sarah, her two daughters Sydney and Sage plus her husband Rick.
Sue's job was to bring up the revered Cook Family Thanksgiving "treat", tomato aspic. For those not familiar with the tradition, it is essentially a tomato jello matrix with black olives and celery thrown into the mix. Bill eats it. Sue eats it. And I eat it. All others spurn tradition and the savory gelatin. Some family discord is to be expected at the Thanksgiving table from what I hear from 'Dear Abby".
