Redneck Thanksgiving

Derrick,
Your Aunt Cherie and I used to have to wash the "PAPER PLATES" (actually, they were the strofoam w/ compartments) every year when we went to our grandparents house in GA. We have yet to figure out why. We didn't use the ironing board to serve on, but we did use the "washer and dryer". It was the best Thanksgiving ever, and yes they did live on a "Red dirt road". So, you did inherit those "Redneck qualities" legitimately! Happy Thanksgiving! Love, Mom

I too have washed the good china(lol) and the plastic sterling silver forks and spoons, and have served food off of the top of my chest freezer before. We also had a room in my mom's house that didn't have heat that we stored the pies in to keep them cool, the room had lots of windows and was only used in the spring and fall, so in the winter it would be about 40 degrees in it, just right for a pie to stay fresh in. We have set soda outside to stay cold on the porch, and pork and beans are a gourmet food if you add some brown sugar and bacon grease to them. When I was little(40+) years ago, we lived in a small town(McCluskey IL) that had 1 road in, but it was paved and my grandmother owned the gas station/general store. On Christmas' and Thanksgivings when it was nice enough, we had ours in the barn and the whole neighborhood would show up and bring something, to this day I can't stand squirrel or rabbit. It put a fun meaning to the words barn dance. I personally lthink its wonderful to be full of Redneck, never know what you're gonna git. Have a great Thanksgiving, any way that you can.
