A friend of ours does something like this - the Saturday before Thanksgiving he hosts a Thanksgiving dinner/party for all his extended family-by-choice. This year there were 40-50 people.
I carved 4 of the 6 turkeys (4 deep-fried, 2 roast), then kinda fell over and turned into a slug. Fortunately, another attendee picked up the knives and finished carving duty.
I never actually ate a slice of turkey off of a plate, but I got plenty of odd bits, and my fellow addicts of crispy skin and I got our fill. ![[Biased]](wink.gif)

Children and grandchildren are coming to our house in the morning and they are going to FIX US a Thanksgiving brunch. No work for me, other then fixing the table, how nice. They will then be off in the afternoon for their other side of their family for the Turkey Dinner. Mr Image and I are roasting a turkey and neighbors are stopping over in the evening for turkey sandwiches and a glass of wine. After the brunch we do not want a big dinner, nor do our neighbors who had their family over on Sunday for turkey and all the trimmings. I love this arrangement, new for us this year, so grandchildren get to spend the holidays with both sets of their grandparents, and I get all the fun without the work.

We have been spending our major holidays with the same group of friends for years, so tomorrow morning we'll cook up the ritual huge batch of macaroni-and-cheese and take the ferry over to Surry.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day, y'all!

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody. We're keeping it low-key this year, or as low-key as Mrs. O can stand to. Only three pies.

Happy Thanksgiving!
The Bird was supposed to go into the oven at 6 this morning. Five minutes till, I opened the door and saw the element had a glowing cherry red spot. Immediately after, it popped and caught fire. No oven. ![[Help]](graemlins/help.gif)
Thank goodness D-U's mom-in-law lives about ten minutes from me. We took the bird to her house and started it cooking there. So, no lovely smell of roasted turkey for this house. And I guess we won't have rolls. Oh well. ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)
.....
It is now after 6pm. The family has left. The bird was perfect! Well, after cooking it the second time. So what if dinner was an hour and a half late! It was definitely a Thanksgiving we will always remember.

So very very full, as well as tired. We did smoked-drunk turkey, chicken & dressing, taters, gravy and all the fixins at the bar today. Not a huge turn-out, but every single person who showed up to eat needed someplace to go. I hate to see anyone lonely, eating a microwave dinner on Thanksgiving, so it made me feel really special to be able to provide a place and a meal. You have your born-to family and your choose-to family. I'm proud to be part of several choose-to families.
Happy Turkey Day everyone!

Serious big meal and day with a bunch of the boys from the bachelor's society and the kids and I. We were at the president's house- he's a chef and restauranteur. Well, that was a helluva good plan! We cooked all day both indoors and out, skiied the lake, threw frisbees for dogs (many!), split and hauled wood, watched the parade in the morning and football in the afternoon. I made my ass-kicking triple-ginger punpkin pie and grandpa's cranberry relish recipe; Todd made a smoked turkey and a roasted turkey, all the sides you can imagine, and lasagna. 'cause he's an italian chef and I dont think he can help himself.
Lovely day. Just me, my three kids, 7 dogs, 3 cats,and 8 single men.
My life is weird.

Had a great day. All I was baking was the turkey and a pie. Got to visiting and let the pie burn. Remove burn from top. Scooped out the good filling. put it in a pot with cream, and a lot of vanilla. Served it in cups with lots of whipped cream on top. All were happy with my pumpkin custard. Turkey was outstanding so 50/50 not a bad score. Loved watching big adult son, putting doll clothes on his little daughter's doll for her.
Happy Thanks Giving all.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Relatively quiet day here: surgery on the food processor was successful, and got it working again, but meanwhile the cranberry relish had to be made in the blender instead, which is not easy. (The best method I've found so far is the old hand-crank meat grinder.)
Rather than baking too many different types of pie we have settled on our "pump-can" pie, with hand-squeezed pumpkin and chopped pecans. This started a number of discussions whether it was more suitable for dessert or breakfast. (One niece voted for the latter by consuming half a pie, leaving little opportunity for further debate.)

Had two wonderful turkey meals. The first was the in-laws. They had a simple but good meal. The meal consisted of turkey, dressing(sage, cornbread, and bread crumbs), chicken gravy, mashed potatoes, and green bean casserole. Then on to the out-laws(my mom's house). We had turkey, ham, homemade cornbread dressing, giblet gravy, and the like. Oh we also had the traditional Thanksgiving day watermelon*.
*The watermelon was conceived from the remains of 4th of July feasting. The rinds and seeds were strewn around the side of my mom's house. Shortly after the 4th a neighbor cleared the trees from around my mom's house and low and behold watermelon started growing. They just got ripe enough to eat for Thanksgiving day.

Glad everyone had a good Thanksgiving. We almost had a disaster but at the last minute it all came well.
We catered out for the turkey and some of the fixings because my daughter didn't feel like cooking them. So the night before Thanksgiving I went and picked up what we catered. Got home, unpacked it... no turkey!
The happy ending, the store owner herself actually delivered it Thanksgiving day. Yes, i am a happy customer.

JB and I had 2 holiday meals, one with her aunt at the Alzheimers facility for lunch and the next at our cousin's brother's house. The stuffing was made with hamburger meat and sausage which was excellent. Green rice was great. Of course, we had the turkey, potatoes and pumpkin pie. Lots to funny family stories, wine and beer flowed freely and the Arizona sunset was an "AH" moment.
Then some of the girl cousins got ready to do Black Friday up royally. They left near midnight and came home at 11 the next morning, still smiling and giggling and back with lots of presents.

But hey! You could serve her up her first legal drink. Or is the drinking age eighteen in Alaska?
And happy birthday, girl friend! Look at it this way- getting older and having a birthday is better than not getting older and having no more birthdays. I for one am glad you are having this birthday. Repeat as needed. ![[Yipee]](graemlins/spin.gif)

HBD Ruth!
I had my annual eye exam this morning and my darling, late 20-something eye doctor, Dr. Dylan, picked on me... ![[Disappointed]](graemlins/disappointed.gif) OK, so I can't see past the end of my nose without my contacts, and - if I wore glasses - they'd look like coke bottles. And now, I need reading glasses as well (or longer arms). ![[Waterworks]](graemlins/bawling.gif)
Oh, and a really cool thing happened to my hubby and nephew this past weekend. They were duck-hunting Sunday, and one of the guys in the blind with them does a lot of film work with ECHO calls. He was so impressed with the quality of the hunting at our blind and with my 9 year old nephew's calling that he's planning on coming back in January with a film crew. This proud auntie is just about to bust her buttons!

Yay, Bess! Nothing like being out from under the mortgage!
We went to Chincoteague yesterday hoping to see lots of waterfowl, but because of Sandy a lot of the snow geese have had to move on. Apparently, the storm raised the water levels in some of the areas where the geese feed to the point where they have trouble reaching the underwater plants.
We saw a small flock (gaggle? What are they called when they are sitting on the water?) of Canada geese, a pair of beautiful tundra swans, and assorted ducks, herons, egrets, loons. etc., but only one snow goose. We may go down to one of the wildlife refuge areas in North Carolina to see if we can find some snow geese there.
There were also quite a few of the wild ponies wandering around the refuge. All in all, a nice visit even without the geese.

post-bachelor weekend check in. I'm alive. still have no voice after lots of shouting during the auction and wilderness woman contest.
record breaking year - preliminary number for auction only, not the door, or catalog sales, or WW entry fees: $14,000. 3K more than our previous record. half will go towards our fund to help victims of domestic violence; the other half goes towards the community in mini grants.
I feel like I gave birth. so exhausted. but I might have to admit it was worth it...

Jeez, comet! Bachelor Weekends, 40-below temps, and now an earthquake. Just another ho-hum day in The Last Frontier, eh? So what are you planning for tomorrow? A plague of locusts?

This is not to be construed to mean that I consider a triumphantly successful Bachelor Weekend to be in the same category as earthquakes and dangerously cold weather, just that you seem to have an awful lot happening just at the moment. I hope you and your voice manage to get some rest.

Hell, we also had a string of arsons and an IceJam that threatened to flood us in winter. Never a dull moment, round here.
The -40 was fairbanks, though- other side of the range. We're hovering around -20 at night which is plenty but not scary. And a 5.8 sounds big but it's not for us, really. For a couple of reasons: a)low population density, b) preparedness, and c) no bedrock so we don't crack and grind so much as undulate. Like riding on jello. Otherwise, with our seismic activity, no one could live here.
For my next act, i'm planning on a holiday month of just work and family and dealing with my financial disaster and no big events, plays, or (god willing) disasters or epic weather. And hopefully some more snow 'cause I STILL can't ski.

Congrats on the auction, comet.
btw, if you try to learn to ski after the age of about 16, it's bad for the knees. It's bad for the knees anyhow and I have knees that testify to that (especially the left, which wobbles like the rock under your town). What are snowtyres, ski-doos and dogsleds for? We British of course take one look outside then check what's in the cupboards, fridge and freezer.

I got the impression that comet can't ski at present because there isn't enough snow rather than that she doesn't know how. Unless there are wet clouds about, all that cold weather goes to waste as far as snowing goes.

That explains it then.
Consider my post a Public Service Announcement for non-skiing adults everywhere.

I'll certainly keep in mind, since I don't ski. I'm sure I'd be a disaster waiting to happen on the bunny slopes.
