A very happy Thanksgiving to you, Wretched Excess, but not only this day, but all the days of your life!
I've always been grateful for all that you've done for the rest of us.

So.....madam, what are you doing for Thanksgiving?

So.....madam, what are you doing for Thanksgiving?
I am cooking Thanksgiving dinner for just the 5 of us + daughter's boyfriend. My son had double knee surgery a week ago Tuesday and it gave me a ready excuse to opt out of the mass gathering. I love my family, but there was some drama at a 50th anniversary this past summer that I would rather not reconstitute at this time.
What about you?

Yeah, I know how those family things go, but it's been a long time.
It's not the same without the patriarch and the matriarch at the table.
The cats are getting white turkey meat in the morning, while I'm going to indulge in one of my private joys, slices of cheddar cheese dipped into sour cream, as if potato chips. And eggnog.
It makes for a Hell of a stomachache sooner or later, but it's something done only rarely.
It's supposed to be cold in the Sandhills of Nebraska, but no snow.
I'll be working on the final 2010 edition of DU for....., with the hopes of posting it this holiday weekend.

I figure by Christmas all will be right again among the clan. The said thing is, it is a brother inlaw who is causing the problems while my sister enables his bad behavior. For example, he cannot eat real cranberries, they must come from the can. Not only can he not eat them, he has to piss and moan about real cranberries even when he has his canned ones especially prepared for him. Real cranberries are a tradition with my mom, she serves it from the same bowl that her mother served cranberries from. That infuriates me. It's petty and those bad manners should have been corrected a long time ago.
The cheddar cheese / sour cream combo with eggnog sounds delicious. I may have to try it. Enjoy your day Frank and I look forward to the final 2009 (?) edition of DU!

Happy Thanksgiving WE, good to see you again!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends here at the Cave!

Happy Thanksgiving WE and the rest of the Cave Divers.
Been up since 4 getting things ready with Momma. She just left for a 9 hour shift today. After 4 days of raging she's finally at peace with it, thank God. :innocent:
The Turkey has been in the smoker since 5 with an ETA around the same as her time. Then we're off to the eldest DIL's for the gathering. Dad & 1 Brother are due over sometime today to help break in the new HDTV to Thanksgiving Football, :-) then they'll go on over with us for the grubfest Thanksgiving Feast.
What looked to be a disaster last weekend is going to turn out to be pretty good. It's just going to depend on my abilities to cook the biggest damn thing I've ever cooked before. :rotf:
-
Have a great day folks. :)

Is there some medical reason, or is he just a whiny bitch who needs a good ball tapping?

Haooy Thanksgiving all!!

I would say he needs a ball tapping. (love that expression :lmao:) He is just a self-centered ass who has to control everything. My sister is way too accomodating, I would have either given him a ball tapping or cut him loose a long time ago.

Happy Thanksgiving/Turkey Day all.
May the feast be bountiful. Remember gluttony is one of the 7 no-no's. :-)

Is asking for forgiveness prior to committing the sin allowable?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I'm geographically seperated from my family, and I have to work all day, but don't let my doom and gloom drag your day down. :tongue:

The bird is in the oven,
the bird has been stuffed,
the cauliflower fritters are done,
the broccoli-rabe has been boiled and ready to be stir-fryed with garlic,
the sweet potatoes are cleaned,
the artichokes are stuffed,
the corn on the cob is clean and ready to be boiled...
the turkey broth is simmering and awaiting their tortellini's.
The sweet potato pie is done, the whipping cream got whipped with some Kahlua.
The gravy isn't made yet.
So what's on your menu?? :yum:

Things that sound dirty at Thanksgiving but arent
"Just spread the legs open and stuff it in."
"How many are coming?"
"Just lay back and take it easy--I'll do the rest."
"Are you ready for seconds yet?"
"I didn't expect everyone to come at once!"
"That's the biggest one I've ever seen!"
"Use a nice smooth stroke when you whip it."
"How long will it take after you stick it in?"
"How long do I beat it before it's ready?"
"Are you going to come again next time?"
"It's a little dry. Do you still want to eat it?"
"Just wait your turn. You'll get some!"
"Don't play with your meat!"
"Do you think you'll be able to handle all these people at once?"
"You still have a little bit on your chin."
"You'll know it's ready when it pops up."
"Wow, I didn't think I could handle all of that!"
"Just reach in and grab the giblets."
"Whew...that's one terrific spread!"
"I am in the mood for a little dark meat."
"Tying the legs together will keep the inside moist."
"Talk about a HUGE breast!"
"And he forces his way into the end zone!"
"She's 5000 pounds fully inflated and it takes 15 men to hold her down."
"It's cool whip time!"
"If I don't unbutton my pants, I am going to burst!"
"It must be broken 'cause when I push on the tip, nothing squirts out."
-
Happy Thanksgiving people!
-
Already did the first go-round. Leftovers are already bagged up, dishes done, and pie in the oven.
Gawd, I'm so effin efficient.

Fried turkey. Too bad nobody around here has really picked up on that.

Fried turkey. Too bad nobody around here has really picked up on that.
Easy, easy to do and FAST! 3 minutes per pound. Fried is the most moist turkey I have ever had. Inject it with flavorings of your choice, put a rub on it, smear it with mustard, heat the oil (peanut) to about 375, drop the bird in and make sure the heat drops down around 350, watch the clock, take it out and let it rest 30 minutes.
We are STUFFED .... mostly cleaned up but I have to let the oil cool down a little more before I pour it back into the containers.
Hope everyone else is enjoying the day as much as we are.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
We are having dinner at our home with the Post CSM and another good set of friends for 16 present and accounted for. The three families are each taking part of the meal to cook so that cuts down on the work of any one person.
I am finished baking pies and now working on the green bean dish, the corn, and yams. The house has been scubbed top to bottom, the dogs cleaned and trimmed, the cat brushed and bell shined, and boys No.s 1, 2, and 3 set to their rooms to dress accordingly.
I am dress for the occation with shirt, tie, vest, kilt, hose, and brogans. Wife is horrified, but claims I suffer from Tramatic Brain Injury due to being blown up repeatedly during the war and so they understand.
The game is on the big screen and the Packers are ahead.
The only saddness is my mother is in the hospital in Rapid City recovering from exploritory surgery. We are hoping that it isn't Cancer, but the outlook isn't great. This will be her second bout with it, I am afraid, and she's very clear she won't go through chemo again.
We've talk to her and Dad today, and will again this afternoon.
To all those here I wish the best of the season and all that!
Frank, all the best to you back home.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! :)
I stopped at this awesome sushi place last night... their unagi was excellent. I'll be going back there again.

Hubby got up at 3 AM left me to sleep in.
This is the first year we have not had a house full of family or friends, just my mom and youngest daughter.
The meal was very simple since he was doing the cooking and cleaning thing, he even remembered to set a plate for our fallen hero in the war.
Only thing that was different was family kept calling on phone so we made a game of it and passed the phone around as we ate----No exactly good manors but what the heck.
Now I have the birds caucus in a big pot simmering on the stove, I would appreciate it if you guys can give me any ideas as to what is to be added to the soup.
I will strain it all to have a clear broth that can be drank from a cup, better then coffee in the early mornings serve with hot rolls..
Please drive carefull and if you are going to hit the sales tomorrow, go to bed early as the stores will be opening at 4 AM tomorrow.

Happy Thanksgiving. This is the first time I've had to sit down at the computer. We had a quiet Thanksgiving, with only my son joining SR and me. My sister and BIL came over for dessert later, as they went to his daughter's home for dinner.
The pooches all enjoyed their turkey scraps. Blue, who's usually a very slow eater, downed his food with no coaxing whatsoever.
Hope everyone had a very nice Thanksgiving.
-
Glad to hear you two had a good holiday.
I just got home from work but my brother brought me a plate of turkey with stuffing, and yorkshire puddings.

Happy Thanksgiving . . .

Happy Thanksgiving to All!!!
WE....great to "see" you!
Frank....I want your metabolism! May be out in NE in the next week or so....helping the child move back home. :yahoo:
Dutch...kilts are so anticipatory.....always makes a woman wonder what's under the kilt.... :naughty: (me Grannie was a Mackay-Campbell...the Mackay from the Isle of Roan)
We had dinner at my runnin' buddy's house .....she and her husband, his 96 yo momma, her son, daughter and SIL and his mother, my son and his girlfriend. Great food!!! Nanny made the most food - stuffing, gravy, homemade rolls, sweet potato casserole, twice baked potatoes, pecan pies....she's incredible. Such a dear lady who was quite taken with my 28 yo son.... :uhsure:...must have told me a half a dozen times how "handsome" he was. I made New Orleans corn pudding, green bean casserole, brie and pesto in puff pastry, cinnamon whipped cream....I got the easy stuff. :-)
