Thanks, AL. Best to you and yours, too.
Thanksgiving is a great holiday--no religon necessary, no gifts, cards, and commercialism... just four days off with food and football. :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, is an annual one-day holiday (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holiday) to give thanks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratitude) (traditionally to God (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God)), for the things one has at the close of the harvest season. In the United States (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States), Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November), and in Canada (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada) it is celebrated on the second Monday in October (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October). In the United Kingdom (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom), Thanksgiving is another name for the Harvest festival (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvest_festival), held in churches across the country on a relevant Sunday to mark the end of the local harvest, though it is not thought of as a major event (compared to Christmas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas) or Easter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter)) as it is in other parts of the world. This tradition was taken to North America by early settlers, where it became much more important.

Made homemade cranberry compote, garlic mashed potatoes, can't have Thanksgivin' w/o the green bean cassarole, and of course my famous combination dry rub/injected/basted turkey! :rock::rock:

We will have a day for Thanksgiving here in Australia when we get enought rain to break the drought over here.
Dams in Sydney are under 40% ( that gives us another three year without rain to top them up), other capital cities have even less. Some towns are completely dry in there water storage and have to ship it in.

To give you an idea on how big the storage of the main dam (Warragamba) for Sydney is, it would take 2 inches of rain over the entire catchment (9000 square kilometres) each day for a week to get the dam to 70% full from its current level.

Deep-fried turkey in peanut oil for me. Sooo traditional. Burp.

Well, the food was good...but:

Interesting fact:

Recommended Caloric Intake (per day): 2000 Calories
Average Caloric Intake for Thanksgiving Dinner: 4500 Calories

Anyone else wondering if Thanksgiving is merely an excuse for us Americans to gorge ourselves and then wonder why we have an obesity problem?

[Sea Demon]

Here's to gluttony! :rock: :-j

Turkey, Rib-eye Steaks, Mashed Potatoes/Gravy, Stuffing, Green Beans, Cucumber Salad, Cranberry Sauce, Hot Rolls, Apple Pie, Peach Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie.....oh my, I'm packed. :dead:

Special occasions are not the problem, the daily visits to Taco Bell for lunch and KFC for dinner are.

Daily food should be healthy http://www.clipart.co.uk/clipart/mazeguy/edible/carrot.gif, and anyway a lot of the traditional Thanksgiving dishes are not too bad. Including the turkey itself, but not deep fried like Torplexed. ;)

Anyway hope you all had a good one over there!

Thanks Noob. We can always count on you to turn a well wish into something political.:nope:

[Tachyon]

Lol Noob...that was funny but evil

[Yahoshua]

Just dropped off my sister at the airport this morning........it was the first time I'd seen her in 6 months since coming to Colorado.She's still as irritating as she ever has, was, and possibly for the rest of my unnatural life.:shifty:

But that's just how sisters' are.

Took her out to dinner at a Kosher Deli, toured some museums and a botanical gardens (just about everything was dead but she enjoyed it anyway and wants to come back in the spring to see the flowers in bloom), and I made some chicken Chow-Mein with rice and Miso soup for her last night here(yes I know I'm strange, but I make some good chinese food). We also rented a couple of movies (Over the Hedge and Chicken Little). No turkey though, I don't really do thanksgiving, but my sister took advantage of the oppurtunity to come visit me.

So how was your break?

[blue3golf]

I emded up doing two, thats right, TWO thanksgiving meals this year, one with the family and one with a couple of people from work. Always a good thing when I can gorge for days off one meal.

[Safe-Keeper]

Thanks, AL. Best to you and yours, too.

Turkey Day was great... Roast 20 lb bird, stuffing, mashed potatoes with turkey gravy and giblets, rutabegas (haha, look it up), brussel sprouts, cranberry sauce, candied yams, green beans, corn, etc. Several pies- pumpkin, cherry, etc.
The 31 year traditional neighborhood football game (two hand touch) in the middle of the street went well, although we lost against my brother and his kids. I, as a 44 year old overweight fart, did manage to outsprint my 18 year old skinny nephew for a 40 yard touchdown run (although I did have to rest awhile afterwards). :)

Yours, Mike

Well done, Mike. From a sign behind the desk of my last Wing Commander(an old fighter pilot)...."Youth and skill are never a match for old age and treachery". :up:
