Thanksgiving Dinner
Thanksgiving Dinner
By: Jason Bay

I walked into the kitchen and spotted a turkey and prime rib, chicken, smoked ham, macaroni and cheese, corn on the cob, candy yams, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and greens. The delightful scents of turkey and prime rib, cheese, buttered corn, sweet yams, and gravy filled the air. I hear a timer go off, an oven opening, a microwave beeping, barbeques grilling, and family talking. I taste all sorts of things such as turkey and prime rib, macaroni and cheese, corn on the cob, candy yams, mashed potatoes, and greens. I touch my fork and spoon, the glass full of water, my napkin, my plate, and my food. I sight, smell, hear, taste, and touch many things during my Thanksgiving dinner.

I see many foods such as turkey and chicken, macaroni and cheese, rows of corn on the cob, stuffing, and greens. Inside the house plates are being made, family eating and talking, and people lauging. Im as joyful as a kid in the candy store. Outside I see smoke from the grill flying, kids playing, dogs running, and parents talking. Everyone is as happy as a clown. This is what I saw during dinner.

Inside and outside I smelt many scents and aromas. A pleasent scent of chicken, candy yams, buttered corn, and gravy filled the inside of the house. The scent was almost as good as a room full of fresh roses. While the aroma outside was that of grilled chicken, fresh cut grass, and a garden of flowers. It smelled as good as fresh pine trees, or after it rains and the air is fresh. This is what I smelled during dinner.

    Childhood memories of dinnertime hold a special place in my heart. What used to be a daily experience of family unity and sharing is unfortunately now reserved for holidays and an occasional Sunday or birthday gathering. Rather than each family member drifting into his or her own individual world as their life grew busier, we always had the interaction during mealtime to strengthen our family bonds and enrich the daily experience of community life. My mother would create a meal consisting of either a pasta, or meat and potato type meal for our family of six. Our evening meal always included a salad, plenty of vegetables, and a basic dessert like brownies, pie, or ice cream. There was never an official dinner time since my dad’s schedule varied. Therefore,…

    Well, if I have to select between Thanksgiving and Christmas as my favorite festival, I will definitely choose Thanksgiving over Christmas, because we can eat turkeys and pumpkin pie in that time. I enjoy turkeys; however, it is equally important to maintain the health and stay far away from any health issues. Everyone loves Thanksgiving and everyone enjoys eating, we love to eat with our friends and family. However, people from any background and situations celebrate it in their own way; for example, a vegan may demand Asparagus salad, whereas a foodie may desire sugary spice pecans. What my point is, despite having various choices of food, health should be the utmost priority.…

    I will never forget the Christmas when I was 14 years old. The whole day was so wonderful and exciting. We had to wake up and unwrap presents early because my father was working that day so everyone woke up at 5:00 AM. After all the presents were given out, everyone said was saying goodbye to my father and went back to sleep. At 9:00 AM, we had to wake up to clean the house because we have “Christmas Brunch” every other year where my whole family comes to have a meal. My mom has a total of 5 brothers and sisters. And they all came with their families, which included their kids and some of their kids even have children. So, at my house, there was a rough total of about fifty family members for the brunch. The food that we ate on this day was unbelievably and utterly amazing. Most of the types of food that we devoured were Polish and German cultural foods, which are the two major nationalities in my family. There was fried Polish sausage with sautéed onions. They were a perfect combination of saltiness to sweetness. Then there were some sweet and creamy pecan rolls that my grandmother used to make all the time, but unfortunately I could not have one since I am allergic to nuts. Then to top all of those foods, there were all different sorts of pierogi. There were the family favorite potato pierogi, the sweet cheese pierogi, and then there were the blueberry pierogi which are my favorite. Those foods were the three items that we mostly ate at the brunch. All the adults would be either drinking coffee, soda, or some alcoholic beverages and for me my favorite thing to drink: Polish carbonated water.…

    The taste of rice and beans, with its different spices and recipes that people put into it, makes it a pure delight just even letting your tongue touch it. Try tasting a well-done “Monfongo” or even a “Pincho” which has bread and chicken pieces together on a stick and on the chicken it has BBQ sauce. Trying feasting on pig meat which is better than chicken. Picture Waking up in the morning to the smell of coffee in the air as it awakes your soul. If your staying near a beach you can smell the ocean flowing through your nostrils. Food here bursts with aroma, which kicks your brain in gear for a well feast. Go to San Juan and you’ll smelling a lot of stuff cooking in the air because they are a lot of people preparing food on the street. These scents will make you feel happy and hungry all day…

    My alarm went off, and I slowly woke up with crust filled eyes. Turning on the light while my vision tried to adjust through half dead eyes, I looked for the clothes I laid out the night before. It’s normally five in the morning that we get up to try and beat traffic, and this was the exact routine for every New Orleans travel trip. The primary thing that was on my mind was the event that would take place later that day. Mardi Gras. My family is huge, so when we go to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, we expected to see plenty of people. If there were plenty of people then food would have to be an obligation. My family loves to cook and the menu never disappoints. Yet my mind frame focused on one major food, barbequed ribs. That’s all I had in mind half of that hour and thirty minute drive.…
