We are getting very close to Thanksgiving and I thought I would share my article Thanksgiving Southern Style that I wrote and published on my page of articles at Squidoo.com with you all. Incidentally, this article made it to the front page of Squidoo.com AND is one of the featured articles in their Thanksgiving Zine! Loads of Thanksgiving goodness in that zine so you might wanna check it out! My article is loaded with recipes that are guaranteed to have you drooling before you are finished reading. :)
Sometimes I have to take a break from creating art in order to get a more objective view and now I find myself in that place. Writing about art and other creative subjects is a different creative outlet that I am enjoying at the moment. I'll share some of my articles with you here occasionally. I'm sure I'll be back to painting and sharing soon.
Here is an excerpt from the article -
A Southern Style Holiday
The smell of turkey roasting in the oven, vegetables simmering and sweet potatoes swimming in butter and brown sugar; nothing can beat a Thanksgiving southern style! Being raised in the deep south of USA, I must say that we did put on some pretty tasty holiday spreads. Not many things would bring out the best recipes in our family as a holiday would. The only thing that would bring out more great southern recipes was if we had a visiting preacher over for dinner, but I'll save those recipes for another article.
Most holidays we would gather at my Grandparent's home that lived just a few miles from where we lived in our very small North Eastern Mississippi town. Of course, this also meant that at least one family of relatives would travel from a few states over and would bring their best recipes with them. We couldn't wait to enjoy it all! I thought I'd share a sampling of what a typical southern Thanksgiving meal might include.

Even though I live in the Pacific NW, USA now and have for many years, I still remember those yummy southern Thanksgiving meals!
Wishing you and your loved ones a very blessed Thanksgiving.
