Food Time

Well, my favorite month is over now, but I’m still in the fall mood. Though, I type this while currently wearing a Christmas sweater… But that means nothing. There’s now a bite in the air that was previously missed in October, and now it’s November, so you know what that means! 

Gobble gobbling, turkey-eating, belly-stuffing, kitchen destroying, Thanksgiving! Honestly, the only way for me to get into the spirit of Thanksgiving is by watching a bunch of cooking videos. Now, Chloe has seen my habit: watching cooking videos while I’m hungry. I don’t know why I do it, but I enjoy seeing the creations, so I guess it’s like I’m mentally feeding myself? I’m not exactly sure why I do it. However, not all of them are Thanksgiving “themed”. Most of them have been from other cultures like Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, French, British — just to name a few. I like watching all these videos because it gives me an idea of what I’d like to make one day. Most likely, my family wouldn’t eat it, but my best friend and I would have a blast making it! I’ve made crepes for Mother’s Day one year, and my family loved them then. Even my picky little brother enjoyed them. My sister… she’s another story. My dad liked them as well, though through the process, he was nagging me. But that’s what he usually does. 

Anyways, Thanksgiving. So I have this app called “Tasty”. Tasty is basically a YouTube channel that started their own app that shows all their videos they’ve made. They have this thing called “Tasty-est Thanksgiving” which is just a collection of recipes and hacks for Thanksgiving. I think I’ve watched almost all of them, but mostly the ones that I would consider making.  

We don’t have many traditional Thanksgiving traditions (like breaking the wishbone from the turkey) in my family, but we do usually congregate at someone’s house. That’s usually my grandma’s house, but sometimes we’ll have family come over to our house. We also have themes, sort of, of what kind of food we’ll make. One year, we did more cookout/Cajun foods, and another, we did finger foods, so stuffing was not on the menu that year. I wonder if we’ll have a theme this year because I haven’t heard anything from my parents yet. I just know that my dad wants to fry a turkey. I swear, he always wants to fry a turkey. But I think I have a few ideas of what I’d like to make. Now, if I actually get to make something is a matter of finances.

The girl from D'Iberville is a really dull girl. She locks herself up in her room, content to spend her time reading and occasionally writing. She loves to read little YA romances and sometimes finds herself with books about history. The main thing motivating her writing is her overactive imagination and the strange dreams that plague her sleep. Her works also stem from what she has heard from music, conversations, or when half asleep. Crazed killers, haunted mirrors, and murderous siblings seem to be part of her stories in some way, but they always start off in her dreams. She started writing when she was in middle school, but had been telling stories since she was little.

  1. Thanksgiving traditions aren’t a huge thing in my family, either, so it’s nice to see that someone else agrees that the holiday is more than a stack of “traditions.”
