Oh shoot, I forgot the cranberry sauce, and the green bean casserole.  I assume someone will make or bring that, probably my mom. 
I'm pretty sure I posted it in the recipes thread, I have a Cranberry-Pistachio Chutney recipe that I REALLY like.

I ventured out to Aldi and found a fresh 3.5 pound 1/2 turkey breast to roast tomorrow.

So...

Roast turkey breast with homemade mushroom gravy
Fresh green bean casserole (using Progresso cream of mushroom to save some work)
Mased potatoes (russet, golds and sweets)
Sausage stuffing (Sausage and Herb Stuffing Recipe | Ina Garten | Food Network)
Corn and lobster casserole
Cranberry sauce (Base Cranberry Sauce Recipe | Bobby Flay | Food Network)
Tuscan bread

No dessert. We rarely have it, and if/when we do we like Key Lime pie or cheesecake. 

Didn't see any of that today - Aldi sold out of cheesecake.

Also

Robitussin with Codeine and prednisone. 

Airborne, zinc and vitamin D gummies. 

Raspberry EmergenC mixed with Tito's.

U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

As a Michigan fan.. I'm going to take Thanksgiving as an opportunity to CHEAT.... on my diet... for one day. 

We host at my house and 25 family members come over. We skipped it last year for health reasons so it's a huge blessing to have another year to do it, even though the prep and cooking for 25 is a lot.. and for some reason I had the stupid idea that the evening before I'm going to start a tradition for my wife and kids that I'm going to cook a prime rib and twice baked potatoes the night before thanksgiving.

So apparently i'll be in the kitchen the next 24 hours, but happily surrounded by great people.

Happy Thanksgiving to all the great people still posting on this board. Except OSU fans.. and Little Brother fans.. you all stink this week.. but you'll be great again next week.. Have a good one everyone and truly enjoy time you get to spend with your loved ones. You never know when you don't get those moments again.

My wife stopped by Kroger and bought the usual items there, along with sushi, which for some reason is really good at this Kroger.

We had sushi for lunch, I'm fixing my Asian chicken dish tonight for friends, then turkey etc. tomorrow.  It's a part of a turkey.

We'll have some wine, she likes Champagne.

https://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/2022/11/why-does-my-cleveland-dad-listen-to-arlo-guthries-alices-restaurant-every-thanksgiving.html
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- We’ll save the tale of how “Die Hard” became a Christmas classic for another day. This holiday story is about how “Alice’s Restaurant,” a 1967 opus by folk singer Arlo Guthrie, went from a Vietnam War-era protest song to a Cleveland Thanksgiving radio tradition in less than a decade.At heart, the satirical talking blues tune depicts a 1965 incident leading to Guthrie’s arrest and conviction for illegally dumping trash on Thanksgiving in western Massachusetts.

As far as how it became a Cleveland radio Turkey Day tradition, that started in 1974 when then-new WMMS Program Director John Gorman -- a Massachusetts native -- remembered the song while programming holiday music.“Even though the content was basically much broader, it did mention a situation that happened at Thanksgiving so we thought why don’t we put this in,” Gorman said. “And who better to play it than Len ‘Boom’ Goldberg before 2 p.m. when people are getting ready for Thanksgiving dinner?

“You’re taking a chunk of time for one song but it just sounded good. We got enough response saying it was a good idea that we figured we would save that for next year. And next year became every year.” The following year, deejay Matt The Cat (aka Matt Lapczinski) -- remembered by most folks in these parts for playing “Alice’s Restaurant” on Thanksgiving -- took over middays and continued The Buzzard tradition for decades

We're having 7 people total tomorrow and we still decided pasta with store bought pesto was the way to go tonight... :57:

We're doing the Chick Fila salad tonight.  Home made version.   So tasty when you're prepping for main event.

I'm ready!

I found the Josh Chardonnay for $10 
Chateau St. Michelle chard and sauvignon blanc
and found an affordable Chablis on sale.


5 bottles total.

my favorite bakery was closed for some reason.  Usually open until 4pm
so found a new fancy one a mile away and paid $25 for an apple pie
it better be damned tasty!

hitting the road to Lincoln in a couple hours.
Daughter said show up at 2, dinner at 4.

Happy Thanksgiving to all. It really is the best holiday.

I rather enjoy this one because it is extremely untethered from history and a lot of factual stuff. So in essence you can just celebrate thankfulness and togetherness with whoever you’re with.

Made it in to my Dad's in Tucson last night. Heavy traffic on the 10.

Ever since my Mom passed away 10 years ago, we've been fortunate to have longtime family friends host us to their Thanksgiving dinner out on their desert ranch on the edge of the Saguaro National forest.

We'll head over in about four hours. Their three adult children and one of my brothers will be joining us. It's a good afternoon of catching some NFL, horsing around with the pets, and finally a traditional dinner.

Last night I readied a Lemon Basil Pasta Salad I'm pretty proud of. Will also bring a bottle of Red Blend and a box of Hawaiian Host chocolates I picked up for the hosts during a recent work trip to the Islands.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody.

Beautiful if chilly day here in the A.  My wife just mentioned going for a walk, which is a thing we both enjoy.

I'm sore from working out, legs mostly, and my arm from a pneumonia shot yesterday.  When I get sore, walking often is the thing.

She's had three hip replacements and still does very well, but she says a knee is bothering her at times.  She had an MRI and it's the usual stuff.  She rarely complains but I ask her when we're walking if she's OK so we can turn back if it's a bother for her.  It should be quiet in town today, mostly, there was a run near us with cheering earlier.

We found a rather good French bistro in Blue Ridge, GA a couple months back and just learned that it burned.  My wife connected with the owner, a French lady, and we're sending some money for her staff, who she said would be most impacted by the loss.  She plan's to reopen, we hope soon as possible.  The fire looks bad.
