Tomorrow (Thursday, November 22, 2012) is Thanksgiving in the USA.
Today is also a very special day–more on that in a bit.
Although I have celebrated many Thanksgivings, perhaps my most memorable Thanksgiving meal was my first after getting married.
In 1995, Julie and I lived in California and bought a house in Virginia. Our stuff traveled across the country by moving truck while we drove on another cross country road trip.
We ate our Thanksgiving meal at a Native American restaurant in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Although I do not remember the name of the place (I think it is the current Amaya), the meal remains a unique and memorable experience.
I remember reading and learning about the Three Sisters–corn (maize), beans, and squash–and having that combination as a major component of the meal. I remember Julie having trout and my entree being buffalo or elk.
At least, I think we did!?!
Well, I want to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to all of my readers. Hopefully many aspects of your celebration will remain memorable for years to come.
What is your most unique Thanksgiving meal? tradition? memory?
By the way, today is not only the day before Thanksgiving but we celebrate the 16th birthday of my wonderful twins. Happy birthday, sweeties!

My first Thanksgiving dinner that I cooked was in Nov 1962. I was 7 months pregnant with my 2nd daughter Debbie, she was born in Jan 1963. My mother prepared me well in this area as the turkey met my dad’s approval and he was hard to please to be sure. I have cooked many Thanksgiving dinners over the years (about 45 or so), I get tired each year but still enjoy the family and the food. I have so much to be thankful for as our youngest grandchild just turned 1 year old on the 17th and had his first haircut on the 21st. We are going to be blessed again in April 2013 with another grandchild. We are up to 9 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren from ages 31 to 1 yr. It has been quite a journey and I am thankful that I am still here to enjoy my many blessings.
