What's everybody doing for Thanksgiving?

61. Yes, The Turnip recipe made me think of my aunts

My aunt and uncle lived around the corner from us and didn't have any children. They were always at our house for Sunday dinner, Thanksgiving, Christmas and all the celebrations we had during the year. My uncle smoked cigars and we'd laugh and say we could smell Uncle John before he turned the corner because we'd smell his cigars.

My aunt would bring her turnip dish to many family meals because she knew we liked it so much. She also had the custom of making coconut macaroons for Christmas. I still make them using her recipe.
