Aw. You're all so sweet. Let's just cross out collective fingers that i don't screw this up, shall we? ![[Biased]](wink.gif)
So what's the Thanksgiving plans, gang? Travel? Menus? Hiking? Football? Powersnoozing?
We're moving in with the Fella this week AND hosting my whole extended fam-damly at the new place tomorrow. "welcome to the family, here they are all at once!" with our usual hours-long music jam surrounding dinner. I'm planning a morning hike but we've got a winter storm warning, so we'll see. The alternate being sleeping in as late as I can manage, 'cause it's also my birfdy this year.
Menu is still being hashed out.

Happy Thanksgiving Eve!
My stuffing is cooling in the fridge, ready to be stuffed into the bird in the morning. Candied yams are cooked and just need to be warmed tomorrow. Brussels sprouts will be cooked tomorrow. I know, I know. I like the things!!! Potatoes to be peeled and cooked tomorrow.
Right now I'm procrastinating. The last job of the day is to wash and de-pinfeather the bird.
And every year, I wonder if any of it will be edible. Stressful.

We backed out of driving up to the Colorado mountains for the grandchildren, when the weather forecast said snow. Instead, we will join the rest of the church-family for the annual Thanksgiving dinner. It's a long-time tradition. Years ago everybody came from elsewhere and traveling "home" wasn't usually practical.
The church supplies the turkeys; volunteers cook them; everyone else brings something. This year as usual we will bring Brown Chile and the makings for frito pies. Cleanup is a community effort. (The cleanup effort is assisted by NFL TV - but Motherboard will be hard at work in the kitchen during the cleanup because the Cowboys are being featured and she's a Steelers fan.)
So we want to wish the rest of the Shipmates a Happy Thanksgiving however it is being done.

Thanksgiving at my daughter's, though I'm the financial underpinning of the feast. Small gathering, daughter, son-in-law, and my two brothers, though we have others joining us for dessert.

We're all still post-flu-ey, so will probably do next to nothing in the a.m. and then go to a friend's for Thanksgiving. Normally I'd be hosting extended family but with the flu there ain't no way, no how.

The American community here in our part of Kenya have a big feast (100 plus people ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) ) today but I'll be out in the field.
We'll celebrate quietly on Saturday.
Meanwhile my daughters are gathering back in the UK using all my recipes to keep the family traditions going.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

One of my colleagues is using American Thanksgiving (the Canadian one's in October) as an excuse for a dinner-party on Saturday, for which she's doing turkey and the trimmings, so we'll be celebrating with you.
Memo to self: don't OD on turkey ...

A single serving of turkey breast on the grill here to go with a quiet, relaxed day by myself. Will go out and run, then try to get the leaves raked before the big storm hits tomorrow.
Normally we have a big Thanksgiving, but my wife is with daughter and granddaughter in Hawaii (it's a rough life being a grandmother). I was invited to dinner with some of my family that I haven't seen in years, but that would be about 500 miles of driving each way, so I'll participate via FaceTime instead.
And I'll take time to be grateful for a wonderful life and the people in it.

Ah, what a wonderful day it was! We had nine (D-U invited a friend whose family went to Tampa for dinner. The friend had to w*rk this afternoon.)
Good thing she came. Someone had to help eat all that food and the 20 1/2# turkey!

As far as I can remember I've only once cooked a whole turkey, and that was when we won one in a raffle one Christmas in Belfast.
It's fine when somebody else cooks it though; at Christmas, along with the rest of the Cathedral staff, D. is given a turkey, and as a couple in the choir have us and several others round for Christmas dinner, we provide the turkey and they cook it.

Oof.
Thanksgiving was a traditional massive dinner plus birthday party plus music jam. It was huge and noisy and terrific. Last night was Thanksgiving 2, which we also hosted, with the Fella's dearest friends. A mexican style dinner of also epic proportions. Gobs of food and people. I have eaten enough for an army this holiday, and washed enough dishes as well. So much fun and so much fellowship. I love our combined blood and water families.
I also need a second fridge for all the food. Posolè, anyone? Turkey? Did you know pumpkin pie was intended as a breakfast food? I have been informed as much.

Thanks! Naw, no lawyer, it's only a bit came off the bone that wasn't supposed to, and therefore the lovely lovely graft and stitches. I don't suppose for a moment anything horrid is going to happen (besides the stitches, I mean) and we've been going to this guy for 25 years. Everyone should get one mistake.

Cut way back on the sugar and add more eggs.
Makes it so healthy you have to eat it for breakfast! (Not sure how it would come out deep fried, however...)

Lord, have mercy. Advent service tonight, with a huge pot of soup which almost nobody ate (put out too late). Two magazine articles to rewrite early in the a.m., one of which I totally screwed up. One freaking-out teenager with a science test tomorrow for which he has not yet studied because Advent (why oh why didn't I make him take the stuff with him?). One freaked out husband who keeps putting things down and losing them right in front of his eyes. One botched dental surgery adding total joy to my life. Why oh why oh why oh why...
Tell me it will be better tomorrow. ![[Paranoid]](graemlins/paranoid.gif)

Could you divide your soup into manageable portions (for easier storage) and freeze it for another time?
I'm imagining coming in from Midnight Mass/Nine Lessons and Carols/[insert service of choice] on a cold night and having a nice pot of soup ready to heat up.

Heheheheh. Well, I could, except the exigencies of a serving line meant we had to add the noodles to the soup already--and that won't freeze well...
I did manage to palm a lot of it off on a church friend (cries of "No! No! We don't want that much!").
I am now posting like a bad, bad girl in order to avoid re-writing the very article I should have finished last night. Bad LC. Bad.

No snow people here, but we are having the most magnificent autumn tree color we've had for a number of years!!!
Don't let anyone tell you that Florida doesn't have seasons! Sometimes the conditions are just right, and the cypress trees turn a burnt orange color instead of ugly brown before they drop their needles, the swamp maples are brilliant orange, red and gold, and even the oaks are golden!
I'm very much enjoying the beauty where I live!
And, for an added treat, the Ibis Bug Removal Company™ just flew in to dispose of the back yard bugs!

Wow, this thread was in danger of sinking off the first page, so I thought I'd bounce it up by asking how everyone's Christmas was? Mine was quite lovely, with friends and family at my daughter's apartment. Much food was eaten, much liquid, both alcoholic and non, was drunk. Hope everyone had as good a time.

Today is my Christmas Resting Day™!
Christmas and Advent at church were very lovely! The Altar Guild ladies decorated the sanctuary beautifully, which always carries me right back to my happy childhood!
The choir was awesome, and make me so very proud! They are so dedicated. After Christmas dinner and gifting at Daughter-Unit's mom-in-law, we told funny stories and relaxed. Yesterday was very busy, so this is My Day!!!
So, why did my body have to wake up before 6AM? ![[Disappointed]](graemlins/disappointed.gif)

Happy New Year!
In keeping with Ship tradition old regional threads die on the last of the year and then new threads appear when anyone so minded starts the next.
I'll miss this thread but I'm sure a sooper-dooper new thread will soon takes its place.
Go to it, Shipmates.
