Thanksgiving for our Faculty: Mr. Battersby

Kristen Anderson, Contributor, 7th grade

Thanksgiving, while not as hectic as Christmas, can be very chaotic. Casseroles, stuffings, pies, turkeys, and more all have to be prepared within two to three days. Not only do they need to be prepared, but they also need to be made with the utmost care and caution. Some people host as many as twenty people. During all the confusion, some things are lost in the mix. Why cook a turkey when you can buy one pre-cooked? Why bake a pie when there’s plenty already made at Fairway? Why actually make cranberry sauce when you can dish it from a can?

However, this year you can cross that last item off the list with Mr. Battersby’s easy cranberry sauce.
