Originalist Thanksgiving

In 1602 Jamestown settlers sailed the ocean blue. That first November the happy and perhaps starving newcomers sat down to their very first Thanksgiving dinner. Since they were far from the New England forests filled with turkeys, but close to the ocean, it was crab cakes they enjoyed! Following this tradition we too will sit down to an originalist dinner of crab cakes. And ginger sweet potato soup, swiss chard, mashed potatoes, corn spoon bread, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, ginger bread trifle, and apple sour cherry pie. Notice the happy abundance of desserts! Perhaps not an option for the Jamestown folks, but when it comes to dessert, we draw the line! Happy Thanksgiving to all.
