Thanksgiving Prep With The Yasin Family!

Hey! Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and I am so excited about this. Thanksgiving is a time when everybody can just sit down and relax after a belly full of turkey and pie. I personally love this holiday because you get to eat food and sleep. When my family and I prepare for Thanksgiving, we buy a huge butterball turkey, but we may have to make that 2 turkeys because I am getting older, and more ravenous! We get the sage and thyme from our garden, and we get everything else from the grocery store. The turkey stock, the potatoes for the mashed potatoes, the stale bread for the stuffing, the cranberries for the cranberry sauce, uh, I just want Thanksgiving to happen right now just saying that! After that, we put the turkey in the oven for 3-4 hours, watching the juices drip off the turkey to make that perfect gravy. Thanksgiving is also about the decorations to me. My mom always surprises me with the decorations each year because it is just so pretty. Thanksgiving is also a time for harvesting your crops. I planted peppers this summer. I planted Ghost peppers, Carolina Reapers, and Habanero peppers. Recently, I picked the last of the peppers and made a delicious and spicy pepper sauce. All of you Jamaicans, Caribbeans and Guyanese people out there know that we love one good pepper sauce. Oh, goodness is this pepper sauce hot! I have apples, plums, peaches, and cherries. Unfortunately, the apples, plums, and peaches were all stuffed by the deer and wasted by rotting. But we did stuff ourselves with the cherries though. My mom and dad have been cooking with the pepper, and man do I love the flavor this pepper provides. This is Thanksgiving prepping at my place, and my harvests for this season. Keep up to date for next week for another post! Bye-bye!
