My Thanksgiving Main Course

Buttery mashed potatoes and home-style stuffing which cradle creamy gravy. Turkey, move over. Side dishes RULE! And I am thankful for contests like this one that lets me talk about food, wonderful, food! For "Fellow Poets~Gather for a Thanksgiving Dinner~ Poetry Contest" Sponsored by Gwendolyn Rix and Mr. Tony Lane

I could wallow in buttery mashed potatoes and gravy and ignore the turkey, though I never do. There's a rum-cranberry sauce I love. Dont forget home made pumpkin pie lathered with whipped or ice cream.
