A bit of a hitch on Thanksgiving Day

A bit of a hitch on Thanksgiving Day

Nick September 22, 2022

I’m only too happy to host Thanksgiving dinner for my family on any given year.

In fact, I’ve done so six times in the past decade. With a little help from my daughter, I prepare what my family calls the best traditional Thanksgiving dinner any of them have ever had. I have the mashed potatoes and stuffing down to an art form. My yams are out of this world. My pumpkin, cranberry, and apple pear pies are to die for. I can fry a turkey just as readily as I can oven bake one, though I have to admit the latter is far easier and less time-consuming than the former. There is one thing I have always counted on throughout the years, though. I have always assumed that it would be a cool, crisp day, and my climate control would be working fine. Unfortunately, this past Thanksgiving was not quite like that. In fact, it was in the 80s outside! Worse still, my air conditioner decided to give out on me. So there I was, cooking up a storm as usual, and it was generating a lot of heat in the kitchen that was spreading to the rest of the house. Before long, I realized that I would need to set up fans and have the ceiling fans going as well to keep things cool! I couldn’t even count on opening the windows for a nice cross breeze because there wasn’t one! What strange and uncharacteristic weather to have on Thanksgiving Day in my area, I must say! But the show had to go on, and the food, as ever, was delicious. Nobody was complaining at the dinner table that afternoon!
