Thanks bud, same to you!

We should probably delve further into the food here.

This year I'll once again be BBQing a turkey, my dad will deep-fry one, and we'll have the usual assortment of sides and desserts-- giblet gravy, cornbread dressing, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, pecan pie.  And since it's also my Dad's birthday, we'll have some Italian cream cake too, which is his favorite.

What's going on in YOUR households?

Same-same but very good usual.Cindy has taken to make these apple pies that were from her grandmothers recipe.I took some to work,to friends & neighbors.They really liked it and I thought that folks were just being nice asking for more.People have offered to buy them - they're just right not too sweet.I suppose it depends on the kind of apples ones uses.She usually mixes them up.Well later on I might head on down the road to see my brother over at his son's - who has mastered the smoke bird.He usually hosts about 15 people who bring creative sides.The fun part is usually around T'Giving/Christmas the Bourbon Affectionado's break into a tasting symposium.94 has the best of both worlds with a fried bird,adds a nice taste twist.Cheers!

Yup, a few years ago we realized we didn't want to choose.  My dad focuses on the fried bird and I do the BBQ.  So delicious.

Piles of kids at my sister in laws.  We borrowed a friends bounce house for them.  That won't end badly.

The menu has been under wraps.   We're responsible for desserts, which means my wife and 9yr old will be baking an making.

Daughter #1 is flying in from C-bus.  She's the last to see the new place.  I got tickets for the two of us to the Dawg game Saturday, she's been on me forever to take her.

I'm doing Cornish Game hens for dinner Thursday, with asparagus and sweet taters and carrots.

The wife doesn't remember game hens though I fixed them once for her back when.

In Southern Oregon at the in-laws' house. The turkey day fare will be pretty standard, although they bought smoked turkeys this year so only need to heat them. There was a turkey incident last year :57:
