Happy Thanksgiving

Adam's teacher sent home a "recipe book" from the children--each outlined how to make a favorite dish. Here's a few cute samples:

Ham (by Jadon)--Get a pig from a farm. Take it to a place that cuts it. Cook it for maybe 25 hours. Set a timer to know it is done. Take the parts that you wouldn't eat, like the snout and the hooves, to the dump. Eat it. It might taste like turkey.

Corn (by Ryan)--You buy seeds and then water and put the seeds in a hole. I water it. It grows for a couple of days. It looks like it's growing and then when it is all grown we use some scissors to cut off the leaves, and then after it is all cut off we take the corn in, then we cook it for about an hour or two. Then when it is done, I eat it. It tastes like real corn.

The foods described included turkey, corn, stuffing, mac and cheese, rolls, and pumpkin pie. Methods ranged from "get it at Wal-Mart" to hunting. While each was funny and cute, Adam's was the most imaginative:

Chicken (Because I am half wolf) (by Adam)
I would get the chicken at Wal-Mart. It looks gray when you buy it. I would make it by boiling water until it bubbled. Then I would put the chicken in for 3 hours. It looks reddish and brownish. Then I would put some chicken sauce on it. It looks red and it tastes good. I am half wolf and wolves like chicken. Because I am wolf, I can run fast and I can kill fast. My wolf body is kind of hard to see. It is invisible like having glasses. I can use my claws to eat the meat. My favorite food to eat is meat. I like that I get to eat chicken. I would have salad with it because salad is one of my favorite foods. Wolves don't really like salad, but since I am human too, I eat anything. And I am only half wolf.
