Thankfulness, Thanksgiving food, recipes, and Tennessee memories.

Today, we are setting the table with a feeling of thankfulness, Thanksgiving food, memories, and recipes. Our guests are Mary Lynn Snyder, born and raised outside Harlan, KY, at the R.C. Tway Coal Camp. She shares her Mother’s recipe for sweet potato casserole and stuffing like her Mother used to make and how they always had chicken and dumplings for Thanksgiving.

Mary Dee Dee Constantine, the retired food editor of the Knoxville News Sentinel, shares a heartwarming recipe using apples for mulled cider. And a recipe for venison roast and venison streak.

Fred Sauceman shares a historic Tennessee memory of a one-time annual event that used to take place in Hancock County, TN - Turkey Herding.

And I share a story I recorded from my late father, who was an old-fashioned East TN doctor. He accumulated a lot of interesting stories in his 60-plus years of practicing medicine, and this story involves a turkey egg.
