I Went Hungry On Thanksgiving
I was hungry on Thanksgiving,
but I couldn't eat a thing,
I couldn't eat a drumstick
and I couldn't eat a wing,
I couldn't have the pickles
or the gravy-covered rice;
the pumpkin pie was luscious,
but I couldn't have a slice.
I was starving for some stuffing
or a tasty yellow yam,
or a puffy little muffin
spread with homemade berry jam.
Our dinner looked delicious.
but I didn't dare to touch,
I went hungry on Thanksgiving-
my new braces hurt so much.
Jack Prelutsky
To bring out the wonderful nutty flavor, toast nuts before using in cakes or pies. Spread the ground or whole nuts in a jellyroll pan. Toast at 350 degrees F for 10 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned, stirring occasionally for even browning.
