I’ll take my usual, a bit of dark, a side of veg, and a really big plate of our oyster dressing. Glass/cup of tea, and a bit of pumpkin pie [the only pumpkin food item I ever acknowledge] Wait 3 hours, repeat. In between I enjoy the gathering of family and the laughter and hugs that are the price of attendance*.
*As to the last item, I wish the same for everyone.
I thought the focus of the day was Thanksgiving. Giving thanks for the meal with new people and surviving in a new land. I think the focus was sharing, not pigging out or figuring out to get your dominant buttock on a copy machine.
Actually Sarah Josepha Hale is considered responsible for “marketing” the turkey for Thanksgiving centuries after the pilgrims. It has nothing to do with art.
And why are you using your non-dominant hand? Why are you not tracing your non-dominant hand?
We need to move away from the Pilgrim narrative about Thanksgiving. We celebrate because Abraham Lincoln was trying to unite a desperately divided country during the Civil War. He set the date and he’s the real reason we celebrate. Everything else is mythology.
I give thanks to our native friends for teaching a bunch of shopkeepers & preachers to throw a dead fish in the hole when we plant corn. Eel, the other white meat.

It turns out that starches are very important to hunter gatherers, so I believe that she’s probably correct.

I know I’ll be sorry I asked but how does one tell which is your dominant buttock?

Sounds like it’s not Caufield’s first experience with a copy machine and a buttock.
