Mark Rand Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 Nice and sunny here in Pittsburgh. Being single, I'm going to have a microwave turkey dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 We're just watching the parade here. Paula Abdul is performing. And may I just say, dang, she looks good for 60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 Immediately after my first post, I went to pull the turkey out of the refrigerator in the garage. We left it out there since Monday to thaw. I pulled it out this morning and it was frozen solid. Fortunately, this is kind of the secondary turkey. Grandma has a turkey and hers that's already been in the oven for over an hour. I'm hoping I can at least get the giblet pack out and then get our turkey in the oven here in a bit.

unclevlad Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 55 forecast for today...bit cool for down here but quite pleasant. Got to set up the chicken shortly, but that's easy. Going lazy...prosciutto and cheese. Gonna start by just fileting the chicken breast; if the thickness looks good there, that'll be it. Layer the goodies, fold the halves back together. Season well, wrap, back in the fridge til time to cook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Ruggels Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 Forecast to be 73 degrees and sunny here. Subtract 10 degrees for going into San Francisco to my sister's for the celebratory meal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 It's going to get peopley today, as my handle indicates, I'm not a fan of crowds, but it will pass quicker than the turkey will, so I'm good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 Made gingerbread. Made coffee. Watched some soccer. Watched a bit of Lions-Bills. Helped trim the brussels sprouts. Inspected and washed the raspberries. We'll be heading over to feast in a bit less than three hours. Oh, and Death Tribble ruined Thanksgiving by contributing Spam Chip Cookies to the desserts table. He intentionally burned them a bit so it was harder to tell what they were until you put one in your mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 I’d eat that. Is it figgy pudding spam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdguy Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 We had Beef Wellington instead of turkey this year. I bought a nice Pinot Noir to pair it with. Fighting off food coma right now. Gotta make room for the Baked Alaska dessert. Scott Ruggels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 Against all odds and an apparent defiance of the laws of thermodynamics, our turkey is now done. The journey to Grandma's house will commence shortly. Old Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DShomshak Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 I prepared our small Thanksgiving dinner: a couple slabs of turkey breast I cooked in a frying pan, stuffing from a box, canned sweet potatoes, storebought rolls and veggie tray, with storebought pumpkin pie afterward. Not much, but it's just me, my mother, my brother, and one of my sisters. I am thankful that my mother and siblings are all still alive and mentally functional.

Well then do you come from a land down under ? Where beer flows and men chunder ? Can you hear, can you hear the thunder ? If you can, you'd better run, you'd better take cover.
