Thanksgiving Dinner - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 car or some mode of transportation
1 tank of gas (depends on distance to drive)
1 pocketful of money (for gas; depends on ingredients #1 and #2)
1 empty stomach (or 2 if you bring your spouse, yes; and more if you bring the children)
1 safe trip to your mother's house

Preparation

Depending on how far you drive (pack clothes for an overnight trip).
Get up early on Thanksgiving day and go to your mother's house.
If traveling a long distance, use plenty of ingredients 2 and 3. Upon arriving at your destination, prepare your nostrils for some luscious, moth-watering smells.
Help your mother prepare a wonderful dinner (or stay out of the way).
Sit down at the table, say grace and enjoy.
To help make the dinner more enjoyable (especially to your mother) wash the dishes.
