There are no kitchen horror stories to tell from my Thanksgiving dinner this year.
But there is news nonetheless.
A symbolic torch was passed, at least via verbal agreement. A turkey leg torch, if you will.
My parents offered us the opportunity to “take over” Thanksgiving.
And we accepted.
Now, it’s not that I haven’t ever had the feast of all feasts at my house before. We did it once a few of years ago when I was a police reporter. I was working that day and having the dinner at my house allowed me to run home, eat and then go back to work.
So, my husband cooked for the family and I ate with the police scanner sitting on the table.
It was lovely.
But this is different. This sounded a little more permanent.
It made me wonder when other families pass the host duties along to the next generation.
It certainly seems fair for parents to eventually get a chance to relax a little more and enjoy the holiday with out having to do most of the work.
Kinda like retirement.
My sister and I sat on the sofa last night and outlined next year’s Thanksgiving. We were thinking that it might have a New Mexican theme with luminaries and sage stuffing and chimineas.
My husband joked that it would be an excuse to get a double oven. That’s how he operates. Every new project deserves and new tool, gadget or electronic device.
I would say we are looking forward to the challenge.
And we have already begun training my 8-year-old niece in the kitchen.
