In the typical family, Thanksgiving is always at a certain place at a certain time. Everyone brings a certain dish and the whole family gets to spend time together and look back on memories from previous years. Well as I grew up we never really had a set place to go. I never was to close to my family as a child, and my parents tried to keep me away from their negativity which they seemed to bring upon people. So many years it would just be me my mom and dad. My dad would make the dressing and the turkey and my mom would make all the sides, like the green bean casserole and sweet potatoes. But even as a little kid there is one job I had. We would always make our runs to the grocery store before we would cook that day, and my job was to get the rolls, and keep in mind this my favorite part of the whole dinner. I always was a carb girl, whether it was fresh bread or potato chips I still to this day will take carbs over sugar. We always would go to the same Price Cutter where in their bakery we could always count on the fresh baked rolls. They are sweet and flaky. They are perfect to put leftover turkey or ham on after thanksgiving if there are even any left.after my dad died we would go over to my friends for dinner, and they still would put us in charge for the bread. The tradition still hasent changed. Even though I may not have a huge tradition I still love the little things me and my mom always do together. Still to this day on thanksgiving we go to the same price cutter and get the same rolls. They are my favorite part of thanksgiving.

Food Memory
In the typical family, Thanksgiving is always at a certain place at a certain time.
