Our family will pause during Thanksgiving dinner and each of us will
take a moment to mention what we're most thankful for in the past
year. Other than that, I have to confess our holiday is all about
food.
The eating begins the moment I arrive at my sister's house. I put down my suitcase and head for the kitchen where a loaf of fresh pumpkin bread is waiting. I'll eat my first slice of many before I even take off my coat.
We have turkey of course, but pumpkin bread is the official food for the week of our family's Thanksgiving. I've already done the math – and I'm worried whether the 14 loaves Carla already made will be enough for the 14 people in the family before fights break out over the crumbs.
