Slice of Life 17: Getting Ready for Thanksgiving Dinner


Listen Later

There are few things more traditional than a Thanksgiving dinner. Things just don’t feel right when something is missing. First of all, you have to have the turkey and all the fixings. Those fixings usually include mashed potatoes and gravy, vegetables like beans or squash, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and dessert has to be a pie, generally pumpkin pie ranks high on the list. Add some football games to the food, and you’ve got yourself a traditional family celebration.

Dialogue

A: Como vão os preparativos para o jantar de Ação de Graças?
B: Super bem: Tamara tá fazendo o recheio, Marnie tá trazendo o molho de oxicoco* e a Emily tá fazendo o purê de batatas
A: O que você acha, vamos ter um peru de 9 quilos esse ano?
B: Talvez 11 quilos, nós vamos receber quase 20 convidados.
A: Bom, vamos precisar de sobras o suficiente para os milhões de sanduíches de peru.
B: É disso que mais gosto! Por falar nisso, quando foi que o Michael se tornou fã de coxa e sobrecoxa?
A: Não sei, estranho, né?! Ele costumava comer só o peito do peru.
B: E ele também não gostava de torta de abóbora, o que aconteceu com esse garoto?
A: Acho que ele simplesmente cresceu. Os gostos das pessoas mudam, sabe...

A: What are you thinking, a 20-pound turkey this year?
B: Maybe 25, we’re almost gonna have 20 people.
A: Well, we need enough leftovers for tons of turkey sandwiches.
B: My favorite part. By the way, when did Michael become a fan of dark meat?
A: I don’t know, weird, isn’t it? He used to only eat the white meat.
B: And he used to hate pumpkin pie too, what happened to that kid?
A: I guess he just grew up. People’s tastes change sometimes, you know?
