Miguel:  Hey Beth, what are you doing for Thanksgiving?

Beth:  I’m going to a friend’s house, and I’m really excited because last year the same friend made Thanksgiving dinner and brought it over to my house.

Miguel:  So is this person an especially good cook or something?

Beth:  He is amazing. He just goes all out for Thanksgiving, and it was so yummy last year. I can’t wait for Thanksgiving this year.

Miguel:  Does he make something special, or is it just the typical turkey and mashed potatoes?

Beth:  It’s definitely the traditional Thanksgiving meal, but everything is homemade, even bread and pies and, uh, everything. It’s… He just goes crazy.

Miguel:  That sounds really good. So, what’s your favorite kind of pie? Do you like pumpkin pie or pecan pie or some other kind?

Beth:  Definitely the pecan pie with vanilla ice cream.

Miguel:  That sounds good.

Discussion

All this talk about food is making me hungry! I love Thanksgiving, because the food is always so good. I can’t wait to go home so I can stuff myself with turkey, mashed potatoes, yams, gravy, cranberry sauce and lots of tasty desserts.
One of the other benefits of Thanksgiving is leftovers. There’s nothing better than a big turkey sandwich for lunch the day after Thanksgiving.
Happy Holidays!
John
