The Buckets by Greg Cravens for November 21, 2018

My advice to Larry & Eddie is to stash a few sandwiches, etc. away. Before Toby eats them all.

Toby could beat Louie from “Overboard” with his drool line!

when family would come over and offer to help in the kitchen I’d tell them NO and kick them out…and then they would pout. I had to find things for them to do. OK, to be fair it was usually the women who did this. Guys were playing video games together.

Mom must be cookin’ up a storm in their kitchen.

We have a potluck dinner. I cook the turkey, because it’s the easiest part. And gravy, lots of gravy.

Mmmmm. I can taste it now. I hope you 3 guys are good at cleaning up after the Meal of the Year.

We collaborate on the bird. We argue over the stuffing (She wants celery & regular bread, I want chestnuts & cornbread: Tomorrow will make 35 Thanksgivings; so far, I won the year we were in different states…..), She does the candied sweet potatoes, I do the mashed potatoes, I make better gravy but She won’t eat it, so She does the gravy, I do the biscuits & the pumpkin pie.

And She’s had 3 shoulder replacements in the last 2 1/2 years, so guess who gets to do all the clean-up?

The Bucket boys can’t wait until tomorrow can’t they?

Drool? Gah!! Mr. Cravens!

How many houses have a door to the kitchen? Usually it’s an open doorway.
