My Thanksgiving Story

I know, this doesn’t have anything to do with RVs, or techy stuff, but it is the holiday season so please give me a little room to digress.  My middle son, Larry Jr., recently moved to Florida which put him close to my wife’s mom and dad.  Jr. decided he wanted to have grandma and grandpa over to his house for Thanksgiving dinner and placed poor Krista in charge of making certain the feast was fit for a king.  There was only one special request he made: “my mom has a very special family recipe for green bean casserole.  Krista dutifully contacted my darling wife to inquire as to the secret ingredients.  Linda responded that the only recipe she uses is the one on the side of the can of French’s french fried onions.  Well, Jr. wouldn’t accept this, obviously thinking his mom was holding out on him, and had Krista call grandma to ask her for the secret family recipe.  Certainly grandma would be willing to share since grandma was invited to Thanksgiving dinner.  Grandma’s response: “the only thing I do is use the recipe on the side of the french fried onion can”.  Yikes!!  Was this a conspiracy to deprive Jr. of his one, Thanksgiving wish?  It would seem that everyone was conspiring against a successful dinner at Jr.’s house.  Well, Krista came through, like the angel she is.  She got hold of a can of French’s french fried onions, actually found the recipe, cooked the secret recipe and Thanksgiving dinner with grandma and grandpa was a huge success.

But………….please don’t tell anyone the secret recipe.  It’s been in the family for years!!

Hope you all had a great holiday.

Larry
