Thanksgiving

Have a great Thanksgiving, my fellow yanks. I am just recovering from a nasty stomach bug and ate my first substantial food since Saturday last night, so I have a few pounds to put back on, maybe all in one night! Then the project begins, the home office is getting paint and flooring and I get to do it all. But that's two punches off the honey-do list. ;)

Here is a little funny one I got in the e-mail the other day, how pumpkin pies are made.

My favorite holiday is here!

We wont be celeptrating until Saturday though. I have to work on Friday and it is just too much stress, cooking for 17 people and then having to work the next day leaving it all to my wife to clean up her self.

Because of this we will be going to the Military Dining Facility at the airfield tomorrow and eating Thanksgiving Dinner with the soldiers. Then on Saturday I will be cooking for 17 people and having a good Thanksgiving dinner with friends and family and have a nice party afterwards with them.

I will be cooking:

Turkey
Glazed Ham
Stuffing
King Crab Legs (possibly)
Shrimp Cocktail
Deviled Eggs
Mashed Potatos
Carrots
Giblet Gravy
Dinner Rolls
Corn on the Cobb
Macaroni and Cheese
Green Bean Casserole
Veggie Platter with Dip
Pumpkin Pie
Blue Berry Pie
Apple Pie

So
do you guys eat turkey now and then again in a month's time?

That's alot of turkey... :)

One of the best things about Thanksgiving is the left over Turkey Day Sandwiches.

I like to take the bread and put some turkey, ham, gravy, green bean casserole, and a bit of Mac And Cheese and put in the micro and heat it up.

But as for a month later at Christmas time, we usually eat wild game for Christmas. Either Deer, Boar or Goose. Usually Boar together with Knoedel (a really good dumpling type thing) and red cabbage.

You and me both on the favorite holiday.
Just jumped on the scale, lost 3 pounds so far this week so I have some room to do some serious eating tomorrow;)
Left over Turkey on bread with gravy on top is one of the best things in the world IMHO.
Have to bake a Chocolate-Pecan Pie tonight, then some Bananna Bread tomorrow morning, that's the extent of my cooking, younger sister does the rest.

Countdown to the feeding frenzy starts now, bring it on!!!

This year I did Thanksgiving because last year I did Passover. There are about 4 holidays with about 4 cooks in the extended family so we switch holidays.
 
One thing that I'll be forever greatful for, is to call each and everyone of you a FRIEND. You couldn't come closer to my heart, even if we're of the same flesh and blood....

I wish you and your loved ones, a most wonderful Thanksgiving....

Bless each everyone of you! :notworthy:

Got a feeling that most of us here feel the same way; I certainly do!

A happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
