Yup same to you Mr.N. 

We're doing our usual-- one deep-fried turkey and one BBQ'd. Sides are my mom's homemade cornbread dressing (obviously), mashed taters, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, homemade yeast rolls, homemade pumpkin pie, homemade sweet tater pie, jellied cranberry, and probably some other stuff I'm forgetting.

We'll be dining alfresco in my parents' backyard, weather reports right now look like 82 degree high with only a slight chance of rain so we should be okay.

BAB cool we volunteer over at food pantry and handed out 115 turkeys last Thur.Ran out and passed out almost as many chickens.As the local food distributors was short on Turkeys because of the virus,thanx for volunteering

As mentioned in the weekend SOC post, we have a tradition that when we don't have the kids for the actual Thanksgiving holiday, we do "Fake Thanksgiving" the weekend before with them. So we've already done our Thanksgiving meal. The only guests were my wife's dad and stepmom, so we kept everything very small. 

Usual menu. Turkey, filet for my wife (poultry allergy), green been casserole, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, cranberry, rolls, dessert. WAY too much food for the group, and pretty much 7 straight hours of cooking and cleaning seems like a lot for that size group. But it's our tradition...

For Thursday, the wife's dad and stepmom are going to come over again, and I'm going to smoke a slab of beef short ribs to be served with cheese potatoes, and Brussels sprouts. I'll be much more thankful for beef short ribs than turkey lol...

Gotta say I'm thankful that this year, my wife and I both worked full time the entire year. None of us in our families or immediate social circles have so far gotten COVID (as far as we know--no severe cases at least, I suppose we've all had asymptomatic cases twice now that I think about it). My father-in-law's scare where he had to get a pretty invasive surgery for a lymph node biopsy came up completely clean. We got a puppy. And although my wife's best friend is battling cancer... She's still here and battling.  

For as big of a shitshow 2020 has been, it's been [so far] okay on a personal front. 

Doing a DIY walk/run for a brain cancer research group with the kids and a family in our school pod.   Kind of cool to create your own course 

Easy menu for the four of us, which will no doubt be all starches for the kids.     Probably have ILs over for outdoor dessert by the fire pit.  50 ish in the cast.

That's great Bwarb,no pics thank you.BTW what type of suds will you be pairing with that?

I'll probably have various IPA (depends what I see at the butcher when I buy the meat, plus what I have on hand already) and some Firestone Walker 805 blonde ale ready to go. If I see anything non-IPA interesting at the butcher I'll consider that. 

The best to all of you and your loved ones!

Yes- a deep fried turkey is the bomb!!
