Dave’s Most Memorable Thanksgivings – The Three Legged Dog and the Javalina
My family and I were sitting around talking the other night, planning Thanksgiving dinner, when we began to reminisce about Thanksgivings past. There are some good stories.

On Thanksgiving, we're always reminded of how the little things really do make the biggest impressions on our lives. Of course, I'm thankful for my little ray of sunshine Carsyn, my family, friends, job, health and of course...you, my listeners! But, here lately, with another family member beginning her service to our great country, I'm more thankful of all of the men and women who are away from their families to protect ours.
Don't want to cook for Thanksgiving? Want someone else to serve you? Well, I have a great place for you to eat a delicious lunch all while helping out a 37 year old local charity.
I love traditional Thanksgiving foods. Turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, dumplings. In fact, my mother and aunt share a dumpling recipe that is ridiculous and I look forward to eating it every year. Dough + salt + chicken= happiness and high cholesterol. But my absolute FAVORITE Thanksgiving food is Sweet Potato Casserole. It is one part side order and one part dessert. It is to food what the Snuggie is to the coach potato. Pure, unadulterated comfort and bliss. And, I am about to make you VERY thankful this holiday season. Here's the recipe . . .
"Wait a minute! Can I finish my pumpkin pie?"
"Bring it with you! I have to get that electric scooter!" said nobody, ever.
But not so fast.
Thanksgiving 2011 is here. All the Country stars are off enjoying the holiday with their families and friends. But, before they took time off, we wanted to know what they're thankful for or what they plan on having for dinner today.
