5. I don't know if we'll have a turkey.

It all depends on what my mother feels like cooking, because she does pretty much all of it. She cooked a tasty ham last year. She always makes her chicken dressing, which is just like my grandma's and it is superb. Everybody loves her dressing, probably because she puts some chicken broth in it. It's never too dry.

Another thing we always have is sweet potato pie. She always cooks a few of those. Other than that and the dressing and the ham or turkey, we'll have some vegetables on the table. So we won't really have a large variety of dishes, but they'll all be very good and there will be a lot of them. I don't think we've ever had a truly traditional Thanksgiving. Southerners don't do that very much, it seems.
