No Alton Brown bird for me this year. Just landed in Chicago last night and we're going to my brother's house today.



It's good to be back in the house after 3 weeks of travel, but I just wish the house was somewhere else. Home could be anywhere me and Mrs. 847 would be. 14 days on a ship together proved this. That was a cool house. Like home.



Happy Thanksgiving all.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

Bird's been on the smoke a couple hours, probably another 1-1.5 and then we'll head to my folks' house. 

Happy Thanksgiving, all!  Enjoy the Dallas Cowboys kicking the crap out of the hated Washington racial-slurs!

We decided to reheat the smoked birds in pieces, so we just dismantled both. Even after washing, my fingers smell like smoked turkey. There are worse problems :)

not much family at my place either.  Daughters will be at their grandmothers and other places.  Don't blame them.  They won't have a meal with me tomorrow, but we will have leftovers and will watch at least the first half of the Husker game together before they leave again.
I will have the Alton Brown bird, mashed taters, sweet taters, green bean casserole, plenty of gravy.  Might do stove top stuffing.  Dinner rolls (not homemade) Pumpkin pie w/ whipping cream.
daughter is making a cucumber salad and deviled eggs.
there will be way too much food, which is good.
I skipped the green bean casserole this year, as it is not my favorite.  I am so stuffed right now that I do wish the kids were here to help clean up, lol.  Since I retired three years ago after I broke my leg at work, I can do more cooking than I used to, but since my husband is ten years younger than I we have quite a few years left before we can take time to go visit the kids.. I keep telling him that he has to wait until he is 70 before he retires, but that means another 16 years of holidays on our own!  He says he may never retire - just work until he drops, so my current plan is to win the lottery so he doesn't have to, lol.

I was thankful that my oldest daughter was able to have dinner with me about 2pm.

Everything turned out surprisingly well.  Therefore I ate until I was miserable.  Starting to feel a little better 4 hours later.

I buy a lotto ticket from time to time.  I have around 3 years to retirement if I choose.

You pulled for a bunch of Sooners.  Shame on you.
I love Colt, but ain't no way anyone should ever root for the Washington racial-slurs.

We hosted my wife’s family like we have the last few years.  She did the traditional turkey in the oven. I put a smaller breast in my smoker.  Mine won.  Lol. Juicier, more flavorful, more compliments. It was her idea for me to do it but I think she’s a little jealous now.  Lol.

It was a good day.   Watched a lot of football and beat my daughter and nephew in a pickup basketball game in the driveway.  I’ve already been into the leftovers.  Going to meet up with my best friend who I haven’t seen in over a year to watch WVU tomorrow.

They should change their name to the Gun Grabbers.
