MedicineDan Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 Have a great Thanksgiving. My friends in the Great White North have already celebrated theirs. Hopefully, they found much for which to be thankful. For those in other countries around the world, may you find cause for celebration. May your homes be filled with warmth and happiness. As Lincoln might say, may we all be touched by the better angels of our nature. Fair winds and following seas. God bless you all. 6 "Not for the sake of much time..."

Guard Dog Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 I'm taking Sunny & Bella with me to the VFW in a little while. We'll have our Thanksgiving there. Deep fried turkey, smoked ham, lots of sides and I'm bringing desserts. I ordered a large sweet potato pie, pecan pie, apple pie, and a pound cake from the Kroger Bakery. We are celebrating together with the American Legion and Marine Corps League this year so it should be a pretty good turn out. Afterwards I expect cigars, expensive whiskey and football long into the evening. I only wish Tommy were here. 2 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
Hurlshort Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 I'm going to go run in the rain for an hour with some friends before eating some turkey with family. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 1
Keyrock Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 I'm working, but Happy Thanksgiving to all the forumites. I'll get a turkey sandwich at whatever truck stop I wind up at tonight. 1 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks

I'll get around to it one day. Happy Thanksgiving! Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.
ShadySands Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 Spatch****ing and smoking/grilling a turkey. The only thing I'm making this year and it feels weird since I'm normally making almost everything myself And to repeat myself every year, if you make your own turkey then I'd highly recommend spatch****ing it. It cooks faster and comes out better much, much easier. Free games updated 3/4/21
MedicineDan Posted November 28, 2019 Author Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) I was planning on frying a turkey again this year, but it's raining in my neck of the woods which means either using the patio eaves as cover, and I'm not keen on having wooden structures quite that close, or risking cold rain falling into the peanut oil, which... well... you know. Either way sounds like a great way to end up on the news. That's dinner this afternoon at the out-laws house. I'm currently thawing a goose that I'll either roast or smoke next week. I'm much more looking forward to that. Water fowl has a distinctive texture and flavor I quite enjoy. EDIT: to clarify, geese are fowl, not foul.
