Saturday Six – Episode 242
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. I figured I’d devote this week’s Saturday Six to the big feast.
- First to play last week: Yen of Little Peanut. Congratulations!
(According to the rules, “First to Play” requires you to be the first to include the link to the specific entry in which you answered the questions, not just the general link to your blog.)
Here are this week’s “Saturday Six” questions. Either answer the questions in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your journal…but either way, leave a link to your journal so that everyone else can visit! To be counted as “first to play,” you must be the first player to either answer the questions in a comment or to provide a complete link to the specific entry in your journal in which you answer the questions. A link to your journal in general cannot count. Enjoy!
1. What single food on the Thanksgiving dinner menu did you most look forward to?
2. What single food was your least favorite?
3. How many plates of food did you eat? Did you take the big nap afterwards?
4. Take the quiz: What holiday food are you?
5. What dessert item did you most enjoy from the big feast? Who made it?
6. How many meals of leftovers did you bring home?
If you have a Reader’s Choice question you’d like to see asked (and answered), send me an email! I’d love to be able to include it in a future edition of the Saturday Six.


Welcome to Patrick’s Place, home of the Saturday Six, the Sunday Seven and Monday’s Morals. Patrick is a television producer, writer, Mac lover, and Christian, though not necessarily in that order. He has a natural dislike of double standards and poor grammar.


mines ready
1. celery with canned cheese in it. and black olives
2. cranberry sauce, but it was okay
3. one, no
4. a trifle, whatever that is
5. Pumpkin pie, mom
6. Some turkey.
My answers are posted on my blog.
This week quiz was as if it was written for thirteen year olds, if you picked a traditional Christmas, you ended up a fruitcake
I’m sorry, we didn’t celebrate thanksgiving.
It’s an American event.
Have a nice weekend.

Happy belated Thanksgiving!
Here are mine, have a great weekend!
Patrick, you know I do all the planning, prep and cooking for holidays at our house. This year I tried to pare it down just a bit, as none of our kids could make it home. There were just the three of us here. I still did a multi-course meal, only made smaller amounts of food.
1. Easy: Part of my family history includes generations of Virginia Tidewater ancestors. This year I made a very old VA family traditional starter for our meal: Cream of Peanut Soup. I couldn’t wait! It’s a favorite comfort food from colonial Virginia. I adore the stuff.
2. Hot rolls. Have to have bread to please the family, but I see it as a tasteless waste of tummy-room.
3. Ate only one serving of everything. Nap? Ha! I had to clean the kitchen.
4. I’m a gingerbread house–”spicy and sweet”, or so it says.
5. I made pumpkin pie, but didn’t eat any dessert. I’m not a fan of sweets. I’d rather have extra broccoli souffle’!
6. Naturally all the leftovers stayed right here. When the kids come, I send leftovers home with them. I’m laughing now, Patrick. I’ve celebrated 41 Thanksgivings since I married. I have been the sole cook/hostess for all but three of them.
I played along, you can find mine here
Cream of peanut soup and broccoli souffle – there’s a few foods I never heard of.
Over here in Colorado traditional Thanksgiving is pretty easy – turkey, cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie or occasionally some other pie, stuffing, rolls, finger foods like black olives and celery with cheese or peanut butter, and apple cider or egg nog. All prepared in maybe 3 hours, except the pie the night before.
mine is up HERE.
I’m late with my Saturday Six, but it is up now!
Mine is up!
