How true! I remember many thanksgivings at my grandmother's house in the 1950s. The house always smelled wonderful when we arrived. Her stuffing was legendary, and her turkeys were always perfect. My wife and I are the grandparents now, and we still strive to duplicate the menu of half a century ago. My grandmother was Austrian, and one of her specialties was a marvelous cucumber and sour cream salad that was redolent with garlic and dill. We make that for every holiday. My wife is putting the final touches on it now, following days of draining the cucumber slices. The other smell I associate with Thanksgiving is a mix of cigar smoke, vermouth and bourbon. My uncles all drank manhattans and smoked cigars. I rarely smoke a cigar, and my wife would have a fit if I lit one in the house, but I still enjoy the aroma.
