P 155 Ex 2 A: Who prepares the Thanksgiving meal in your family? B: The women in my family do most of the cooking. But the men help a little too. My husband usually makes the potatoes and gravy.

We boil them with sugar and add apples or orange slices and some nuts.

A: How do you make the stuffing? B: I use bread, garlic, cloves, onions, butter, and mushrooms. I add spices. A: What do you make for dessert? B: My neighbor always comes and brings several pies.

B: I love it. The only thing I don’t like is washing the dishes. A: Why don’t the men wash the dishes? B: They’re too busy watching the football game. They always say that they’ll wash them later, but the women are in a hurry to clean up. So we do it ourselves.
