Toast Masters

(Admin note: in case you weren't aware, it's something of a holiday tradition around here to show clips from old Peanuts specials; don't worry, there will be plenty of time for the running and gear stuff later.)

Every year, as my kids and I sit and watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, the following scene never fails to crack us up. For all their quirks and foibles, one thing is certain: that Peanuts gang could whip up a mean batch of toast.

It's also inevitable that one of us ultimately says, "One year we need to have toast, popcorn, jellybeans and pretzels for Thanksgiving." We haven't ever followed through on this promise - sort of like how Charlie Brown never quite manages to kick the football - but one of these years we just might surprise ourselves.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
