WISHING EVERYONE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Hi Everyone,
So what is everybody doing for thanksgiving? I am going to travel to see
my family. Also what is everyone's favorite dish?

We are going to my SIL a few hours away. First time in about 30 years that I won't be cooking the big meal. Even before I was married, I was in the kitchen for 2 days with my mom helping her. Thanksgiving brings back all the memories of my mom, nana and me cooking together for years. The only thing my SIL wants me to bring is the homemade rolls, so that may be all I eat. They are NOT good cooks and they tend to forget that I have issues. Also since they have not done the holiday before, they don't have the traditions down. We usually go to their house for Xmas and its always a crap shoot as to what dinner will be. One year it was frozen fish sticks and a green salad. Luckily I had brought the rolls and Xmas cookies that year, so I ate those. So this should be a really interesting Thanksgiving.

But I am cooking a small Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday for just my husband, one of our daughters (the other one can't come home this year ; ( ) and my daughters best friend. That will be OUR Thanksgiving. Just the side dishes we love, made the way we like them, eaten at the coffee table in front of a roaring fire. Oh and 3 pies, gotta have pie.

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving, and don't spend all your money on Black Friday!

Happy Thanksgiving to you too Teddy! We are just staying home (hubby and I) and I will make a turkey breast, and fixins that I can tolerate. Probably just watch movies the rest of the day.

I am thankful for the wonderful husband I have who always takes such good care of me. I really don't know where I would be without him:)

Sniper I am so happy to hear your wife is in remission, and I love that that big heart of yours is still pumping. Hugs and love to you all!

Happy Thanksgiving to you Teddy and to the rest of my wonderful family here. If I'm well enough, we'll
be spending the day at my sisters with the rest of the family. Trouble is, it's grown out of proportion, they
keep having babies, what's that all about, there's enough of us already :)

Canada has it 1 month earlier because of the different harvest time, but some celebrate both, Oct and Nov. Otherwise, it's the same menu. This year, hubby made the turkey and stuffing, and the rest of the family helped me with everything else, all homemade from scratch: cranberry sauce with honey, gravy, creamy mashed potatoes, buttery salty corn and peas, salad, and pumpkin pie with whipped cream. My MIL brought lasagna & veal parmesan, apple crisp, and apple cake. Obviously, I eat what I can, and I love it all, it's hard to pick what I like the best.

Today I have a turkey breast in the fridge, and I'm thinking about slicing it up, flouring and frying, to make turkey fingers for the kids.

Sniper, glad to hear your wife is in remission and heart is still kickin' all right.

Happy Thanksgiving, e1! Hope you enjoy all the yummy food.

Mom's house. Wish you all happy times and good health.

Hold the phone ,,,,,,,just had a quill run down my spine . Porcupine turkey meatballs ? Not only want the recipe but instructions on how to clean a porcupine . I suppose prickly pears are not out of the question for dessert ?

Thanks Teddy!
Turkey & dressing. But its the Cranberry I still love!
Hey, James (Sniper) great to hear your Wife is in remission. I hope you have many more Thanksgivings together..

Sincerely,
Matthew

Happy Thanksgiving to you too TBW & others! The family is coming to my house tomorrow afternoon and since I'm still flaring I'll stick to the basic bland foods but may sneak some dessert after everyone leaves so I can at least treat myself to something & if it doesn't agree with me then it wont matter because everone else will be gone  

When not flaring I love honey ham/fried turkey & good ole' pecan pie
