Now if I just knew who General Cox was ...

| Turkey in front. In back, ham and my sis' kicked up sweet potatoes. ; ) |
 |
| Sister's cucumber onion salad w sour cream dressing in front, daughter's salad with walnuts, sweet yellow peppers and cranberry in back |
 |
| Turkey gravy, assorted beloved potatoes: One cheesy, One mashed, and almost Nina green beans |
 |
| Pinot Noir cranberry sauce w/ mandarin oranges |
 |
| Pecan pie, stuffed strawberries, Grandpa Red's pumpkin pie |
Everything was terribly tasty! But bad for the waistline I'm sure!
The flavor standouts to me were the sweet potatoes my sister made with black walnuts, the cranberry mandarin orange sauce with pinot noir, and the stuffed strawberries my daughter made and of course mom's creamy mashed potatoes.

OK. After I made the comment about Cox's Army, I just had to research it. For those whose memory may have faded like mine, as well as those who may not have heard the expression here is the background for "Cox's Army".
ReplyDeleteFather James Renshaw Cox of Pittsburgh, PA lead a march of 25,000 unemployed PA people on Washington DC during Hoover's administration in 1932. They came to be known as "Cox's Army".
Secretary of the Treasury Andrew Mellon (of Gulf oil stations) had provided the gasoline free of charge to the marchers on the quiet.
Naturally, there was an investigation, and Mellon's role came to light. Hoover then removed Mellon from the post in his Administration.
The march led to the formation of the Jobless Party with Cox as the Presidential Candidate. He subsequently withdrew, and threw his support to FDR, leading to the demise of the Jobless Party.
Aha! So they had an Occupy Washington in 1932! lol
ReplyDeleteThat is a great bit of history to know. Thanks mom. ; )
