1.1 Guide 4 What A Food!
Last Thanksgiving my parents had a large family dinner at their house. Getting ready for Thanksgiving dinner
takes a lot of work.
The day started well and by late afternoon we had completed most of the work. Everyone had helped to make
the meal a success. We had put the turkey in the oven earlier that day so the house was starting to smell like
roast turkey. The grandchildren had finished setting the table for Thanksgiving dinner. My aunt had made two
pies for dessert, a pumpkin pie. My brother and I had peeled the carrots and the potatoes. We had just turned
on the stove to start cooking the vegetables when the power went out¡ the oven stopped working¡ we couldn
´t cook the vegetable¡ the turkey wouldn´t finish cooking¡ we waited. We talked. We went for a walk.
We had waited two hours by the time the power came back on. We had almost given up hope. Dinner was
late that night but it was a Thanksgiving dinner that we won´t forget.
