Apple Pie

I like almost everything we have on Thanksgiving, but the thing I look defiantly look forward to most every year is Apple Pie with ice cream. I have apple pie by itself everyone in a while (which is still really good), but I only get it with vanilla ice cream on Thanksgiving and Christmas. I really like apple pie and I don't understand why Pumpkin pie gets all this attention. I did some research and found that the 2 most liked pies, around Thanksgiving, are Apple and Pumpkin. I know Apple Pie is the best, because I did a survey with 32 random people I know, asking them whether they liked Apple Pie with ice cream, or Pumpkin Pie with whipped cream. My results are as follows: Apple with ice cream-23, Pumpkin with whipped cream- 18, and banana/Pecan (Which wasn't an option)-1. I know that's not a big difference, but it is still a difference. I did a little more research, and found a lot of stuff about how great Apple Pie is, and the most used one is "... is as American as Apple Pie. So, although Thanksgiving dinner is great, this dessert is for sure the best part.

The Best Thing to Eat on Thaksgiving

Cherry Pie

           My favorite Thanksgiving dish is the delicious cherry pie. Cherry pie is the best type of pie. It is one of the many reasons why I love Thanksgiving so much. According to the "Most Googled Thanksgiving Recipe in Each State" cherry pie is the most googled thanksgiving recipe in New Mexico. The reason I love cherry pie so much is because of the sweet and juicy cherries in it. The juicy cherries really compliment the soft pie crust.  Every Thanksgiving I look forward to stuffing my face with the pie. I like all types of pie, but nothing compares to cherry.

Which Thanksgiving Dish is the Best

                   My favorite thanksgiving dish is any sort of pie and mashed potatoes. Oh man, my mom has to stop me from taking the whole bowl of fluffy white potatoes. Whenever my grandma serves the pie I call the biggest piece. I can't resist the Martinelli's either that stuff is heaven in a cup. Thanksgiving is completely worth eating until your hearts content and gaining a few extra pounds.
                    

Pie Wins The Race

Pie Wins The Race

    What is your favorite Thanksgiving dish? My favorite thanksgiving dish is pie. Every type. Pecan, Apple, Pumpkin, and Cherry. Lemon, Blueberry, and Banana Creme. All of them are delicious. So creamy and delightful. Tartness of cherries, richness of pecan, and fluffiness of pumpkin.



             Pie is by far the best thing you can get at the dinner table on Thanksgiving. According to the article "The 10 best classic Thanksgiving dishes, ranked": "Pie is the light at the end of the tunnel, the reason we push ourselves and "make room. Each bit of flaky crust filled with nature's caramelized sugar is a testament to human perseverance." (Gayomali 1). Because of the caramelized sugar and flaky crust, we simply could die for a slice of any type of pie. Therefore, pie is my favorite dish to eat on thanksgiving. It gives you a small feeling of happiness and takes away the regret of gaining five pounds.

Most Common Dish in Thanksgiving's Dinners

The main dish during Thanksgiving dinners is turkey, according to Wikipedia, most thanksgiving turkeys are stuffed with a bread-based mixture and roasted, which many people like. Sage is the traditional herb added to the stuffing (also called dressing if NOT cooked inside the bird), along with chopped celery, carrots, and onions. Other ingredients, such as chopped chestnuts or other tree nuts, crumbled sausage or bacon, cranberries, raisins, or apples, may be added to stuffing. Furthermore, in 2006, American turkey growers were expected to raise 270 million turkeys, to be processed into five billion pounds of turkey meat valued at almost $8 billion. Turkey is the most common main dish of a Thanksgiving dinner, to the point where Thanksgiving is sometimes called “Turkey Day.” In conclusion, as you can clearly see the most common Dish that people eat in thanksgiving dinners is turkey, many turkey have stuffing inside them, which many people like and American turkey growers are expected to raise a lot of turkeys do to the fact that many people like to eat turkey during the holidays of Thanksgiving and Christmas each year.

The the best dish on Thanksgiving!

It was Thanksgiving morning and it was time to go to my grandparents house! Once we got there I could smell the beautiful scent of turkey and delicious soft rolls baking in the warm oven! The aroma of the turkey filled the room! It was one of my favorite smells to walk into!


     Turkey is one of the main dishes on Thanksgiving. When ever someone says Thanksgiving to me I instantly think of turkey. Wikipedia says "The turkey is a large bird in the genus Meleagris, which is a native to the Americans."  There is a certain kind of turkey that we like to eat! It is called the domestic turkey or in other words wild turkey. It has the nickname of wild turkey because it lives in the forests of North America! It is important because the turkey fill many stomachs on thanksgiving! The only downside about turkey is it takes a long time to cook. It also is sad that we have to kill them, but in the end it still tastes really good!

           What is the best food for thanksgiving?
         In my opinion, I think the ham is the perfect thanksgiving meal because it simple and simply but very good and do you really want to wait all the process of waiting for the turkey to be ready? To be honest, ham is just faster to make and there is no need to be starving while waiting for the turkey to be finished. I'm not saying I don't like turkey i'm saying I like ham better but either way that's what i think is the best food to serve for thanksgiving.  In the article Ham vs. Turkey, the ham calories are 125 meanwhile, if you want turkey the calories are 147 which is +22 compared to ham.(Weight loss foods).

Best Thanksgiving Dish

Imagine Thanksgiving has arrived. You are upstairs on your bed and suddenly a beautiful aroma drifts through the house. Almost instantly, it filters into your room. You slowly rise from your seat. Zombie like, you follow your nose all the way down the stairs. "Mom!" you exclaim. "What is that delicious smell?" She smiles and replies "It's the desert.” Later, when it is finally time to eat, you quickly finish your meal, careful not to stuff yourself silly. After what seems like hours of eating, everyone finishes. Your mother sends your older brother to the back fridge. He grabes your cousin to help him bring in seven beautiful pies. When the two of them finish, the whole house erupts in shouts of joy. Pie, Pie, Pie!

Pie is most definitely the best course on Thanksgiving day.  The Daily Meal points out that many countries enjoy pies as often as we do. It declares, “The point is that pies are such a versatile (many) dish that they’re eaten in many cultures and assume (take) many forms.” It continues by saying, “apple pie comes from England (or Germany) it has been adopted and changed by the U.S. to the point where it’s now an American classic dish.” Which means, we have gathered different pies recipies from all over the world to feast and enjoy. Although there are so many savory flavors when it comes to our giant Thanksgiving meal, pie really does top it off.

Halloween Story

Inside the Closet

Tap. Tap. Tap. The sound came from inside the closet. Quietly, I crept toward the door and as I walked, grabbed a bat that was siting next to my bed. I opened it very quiet and slowly. But, when I did there was nothing there. It was very strange. Then I forgot as the days went on.

One week later, my teacher assigned a group project of three people. My friends and I decided to work in my house that day. Tap. Tap. Tap. We all heard that noise again. We all stared at another. We all grabbed something and headed towards the door, very quietly. We all opened it. 

We couldn't believe our eyes. There was somehow a secret pathway. In my closet. It was like a transporter. We all decided to go in. When we did there was son crazy things. The monsters scared us. Then a kid saved us us it was weird. We all glared. After that day we never had a never piece of candy.

                         My Life as a Writer 

I wasn't much of a writer until last school year. I had honors and this gave me the chance to excel in writing. I did not like writing as much as I do now Because of the contests it has motivated me too write more and be more creative in my writing. I want to set a goal of getting the honors class in language arts next year.  I am so grateful for the chance to have a teacher like Mrs. Robins this year.
