Dan Gould Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 So what does everyone have in store for Thanksgiving? Lucky me, I'll be leaving the office at lunch time today, not to be seen til Monday morning. Thanksgiving for me, at least since I met my wife, has been Lenczycki style: Fried bird Excellent stuffing Mixed bag of veggies (good potatoes and green bean casserole almost overcoming overcooked broccoli and nasty stuff like turnips) NO pumpkin pie (they're all allergic) Its all made with love, but I'm starting to really miss Mom's Thanksgiving. So does anyone actually go to a mall this weekend? We've always avoided those nightmares, and I can't imagine anyone wanting to waste the day that way ... but that's just me. Happy Turkey Day everyone! And if you have to drive somewhere, crank up the jazz and drive safe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryan Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Thanksgiving was last month, Dan, get with it. Oh yeah, you live in the U.S., my bad. At least there's a couple of football games to watch for us pigskin fans to the north. The CFL season is over, the Argos won the Grey Cup (over 4 million TV viewers!).

wesbed Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 For my Thanksgiving: Baked turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, creamed corn, cranberry relish, homemade bread, and a simple lettuce & tomato salad. Followed by a choice of pumpkin pie or peanut-butter pie (or both) served with strong coffee and conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Ham Sweet Potatoes, baked, buttered Green beans Brocoli Pumpkin Pie It's just Helen and I this year, we're not enough of turkey fans to buy a bird, and we're going to relax as much as we can. I'm going to try to go see "Alexander". . . with or without her! NO MALLS! NO FOOTBALL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Gotta love a holiday where one eats a great meal in mass quantities. Mom will be baking up a massive turkey loaded with stuffing, green beans, broccoli cheese casserole, my Grandma's red wine salad, mashed potatoes and gravy, deviled eggs...man, I can't wait. My brother's girlfriend is bringing some mushrooms stuffed with bacon and other goodies. Pumpkin pie, apple pie... I have much to be thankful for, including all the friends I've made here at this great forum. Happy Thanksgiving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Larsen Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 For the first time in my life, Thanksgiving is at my house. I have eight guests. I don't like turkey, so here's the plan: Ham Two small whole chickens Stuffing Yams Mashed potatoes Green beans Salad Pumpkin pie Apple pie And, to hedge against my cooking sucking, Lots and lots and LOTS of booze. Everyone is taking a cab home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesbed Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 I'm going to try to go see "Alexander". . . with or without her! Does she not want to see it? Just wondering... I watched the previews of 'Alexander' throughout the summer movie season. This is a movie I'll save for viewing via DVD. It looks like it could be good, could be bad, but will be long and drawn out.

BruceH Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Baked turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie. I hardly notice the other stuff. I believe it includes: Ham Salad Rice Crab (don't ask) Brocolli Rolls Blueberry creamcheese pie Ice cream If I go see a movie later on, it will probably be Spongebob Squarepants (or maybe The Incredibles a second time.)

vibes Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 My wife and I drove to Iowa City, IA yesterday afternoon. We're spending Thanksgiving with my brother and his family. The menu is pretty standard: Baked turkey Stuffing (probably Stove Top - fine by me) Green beans with bacon Corn Rolls Apple pie Pineapple upside-down cake (Mrs. vibes wanted to try something new) ...and a bunch of other stuff. I hope everyone has a very Happy Thanksgiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christiern Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Since neither Denmark nor Iceland had Indians nor Pilgrims to take their land, I grew up without this holiday. I never cared for turkey and always hated stuffing, but I do like candied yams and cranberry sauce. Anyway, I'm staying home to work on Basie notes, count 18th century St. Croix slaves, and see if I can make it to the next Myst island. A friend just stopped by to drop off a Thanksgiving dinner from his church, so I guess I'll get a taste of this holiday, after all' Here's wishing all my Organissimo friends a happy one!

Chuck Nessa Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 For maybe the first time ever, Ann and I are alone. She cooked a 16 lb bird and we had all the "fixin's". We ate at 1 PM, watched the Dallas/Chicago game at 4:30, had some "bubbly" and threw up near the end of the game. Everything I said before is true 'cept the gettin' sick part. We did talk to our parents and kids today. Family love and tensions are REAL and the most important part of life. Best wishes to all. Love all of you.

JohnJ Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 A belated Happy Thanksgiving to all of you in the U.S. from Tokyo. My dinner consisted of pizza and Sapporo beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesbed Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 (edited) My dinner consisted of pizza and Sapporo beer. I remember a Thanksgiving Day when I was in college. My Dad had to work on Thanksgiving that year (he worked for the airlines). My Mom decided, with her husband being out of town, she wasn't cooking the Thanksgiving dinner. She took us to one of those all-you-can-eat places for their Thanksgiving offering. As I sat in the restaurant, on Thanksgiving Day, the idea of pizza and beer at home seemed most appealing.

JohnJ Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 Sapporo is good stuff. Only had one but greatly preferred it to Kirin. Very true Big Wheel. Best of all though is Ebisu beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
