I'm off for the rest of the week and work is the only place I can access the site right now (I blocked this and some lsu sites at home while I'm in school....yes, it's lame and I know I have a problem).
So, hope you all have a good holiday, hopefully some time off, and safe travels for those who are traveling.
I've got lots to be thankful for, my wish is that everybody here does too.
I realized the other day I've been posting on some version of this site with many of you for over 16 years now. A bunch of you I've met in person and keep in touch with by other means. I'm pretty fond of everybody here.
So when I say "Happy Thanksgiving my friends" I'm pretty sincere about the 'friends' part.
Happy Thanksgiving, my friends.

Ditto! Enjoy- be safe.

Headed up North on TG Day, and then to Miami for an Eastern Carribean cruise.
Looking forward to seeing my granddaughter, family and friends. Not looking forward to the weather up there.

In San Diego with entire family sans kid in Austin. Planning big to do. Bought two cases of wine at Costco and two bottles of Veuve to celebrate step son becoming a 'Mericun. Official like. He is a fine fellow indeed.
Airport here was total Charlie Foxtrot and I am slated to pick up more kids and then take them back later. Youngest kid is now 34, yikes, except grandkids.
My favorite Holiday, I hope your team wins and your turkey is not dry. Hotel manager here graduated from GaTech, I did not say anything.
MCRD is next to the airport, some kids over there might get a special meal.

It's not yet Thanksgiving, but I wish you all a happy one.

In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and members of the Wampanoag tribe celebrated what is considered the first Thanksgiving celebration in the New World. The menu likely included venison, lobster, seals, and swans. Not on the menu—mashed potatoes, because they hadn’t come to the colonies from South America by that time, and pumpkin pie, because the colonists had used up all their sugar provisions.
In 1863, during the height of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln designated a “Day of Thanksgiving” as a national holiday on the fourth Thursday of November. By that time, potatoes and sugar, though rationed, would have placed mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie on some menus.
The first Thanksgiving in Plymouth was a three-day festival. Now we have four full days of football, with Black Friday thrown in as an homage to all the bargain hunters among us. Thanksgiving has come a long way since 1621, but it’s a great family celebration for everyone (except for turkeys)!

Fun Potato History Fact
Did you know- In October 1995, the potato became the first vegetable to be grown in space. NASA and the University of Wisconsin, Madison, created the technology with the goal of feeding astronauts on long space voyages, and eventually, feeding future space colonies.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

What a healthy attitude.
Or unhealthy if you’re referring to diet.

Stopping by to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving!
My parents are getting on in years, both are now 80+, and although they're still in reasonably good health (which I am very thankful for), my siblings and I decided several years back, that they didn't need the pressure and stress of hosting Thanksgiving anymore, so we now alternate it among our houses.
This year is my year to host and I'm excited about it, it'll be our 3rd time to do so, and I love having the whole family over-- my kids do, too. We'll have 12 adults and 8 kids ranging from 1 year to 15 years. I'm smoking a turkey, my dad is frying one, my mom is making two huge batches of her cornbread dressing, and then we'll have all the other usual stuff like sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, homemade yeast rolls, and pumpkin and pecan pies with homemade whipped cream for dessert. Probably won't be able to move for the rest of the weekend and that's okay.
Anyway, wishing a great Tday to all of you and yours!

Don't say that on MSNBC

What about the Eggnogg?
We'll make the nog before our annual holiday party which is on 12/10 this year. It'll probably be around 7 gallons total, so we'll have a little leftover to tide us through Christmas.
-
7 Gallons? great googily moogily - I said eggnogg not Winter White Ale
-
We were going to have a friendsgiving. However, everyone in our house has COVID, so that's out the window.

Spread the wealth. Herd immunity!!

I'm having Thanksgiving w my parents for first time in about 25 years. Living out in WY makes it tough and we typically find other times to assemble.
Standing rib roast will be featured.
Egg nog sucks balls.

Exactly.

If egg-nog was actually good, people would drink it year-round.

Spent the last two days getting everything situated we're having a small getogether.Cindy has baked 4 pies & 2 cakes the last couple of days so playing hell to keep that area clean and thank goodness for auto matic dish washers.BTW hope you all have a fufilling,memorable day
:cool2:
P.S. - Egg Nogg while not better than beer is pretty damn good.
-
Happy Thanksgiving to all
We all have much to be thankful for...
I'm especially thankful that tomorrow will be the last poor performance by the Huskers of the season and also that a new coach will be hired soon
Egg Nog is like most other things. Done properly, it's very good

We usually get around 80-100 people at our party, the nog goes quick.
And I can understand people who hate egg nog if all they've ever had is storebought crap. That stuff is disgusting. I, too, hated egg nog when that was all I'd ever tasted.
Right up until I had some of my i s c & a aggie wife's homemade nog. It opened my eyes to a whole new world of deliciousness. It's really not the same beverage at all.
If egg-nog was actually good, people would drink it year-round.
A small cup of eggnog has about 10 million calories in it, so it's an indulgence that I only allow myself during the holidays. If my metabolism were the same as it was in my 20s, I'd be delighted to drink it year-round.

Had a small but fabulous get together at our place for the first time. We’ve decided we’re going to do this here every year after everything that went down with my brothers over the last year. Feels liberating.

Had 5 people over roasted the bird came out great - basted it 5-6X and pulled when white meat read 150 on the thermometer.Great laddling gravy over everything
