That Tofurkey looks great. Enjoy!

 

Yum, Happy T-day Rice.

You won't believe what the wifey spent for a "free range" turkey, I told her you can get a butterball at Wally World for $1.15/lb.... didn't even phase her.

Ricekila - Can't either you or your wife cook? That doesn't look very appetizing for a Thanksgiving dinner.

On the other hand, just because I have no one TO cook for, I am not having a T-giving dinner either this year. Instant organic quinoa packet with pesto is what will sustain me today - but that sounds gourmet compared to what you are having.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone - no matter where you are or what you have on the table today!

 

Ricekila - Can't either you or your wife cook? That doesn't look very appetizing for a Thanksgiving dinner.

On the contrary -- besides the fact the mere astonishment that anyone would do anything for someone else always surprises me - no matter who it is

I'm very simple -- I don't need or want anything fancy

Like on these cooking shows Wifey likes to stare at --

"But chef -- the serving plate isn't hot"

"The eggs are runny"

Is it food -- is it not poison --- then STFU and eat :

 

AZ...I did the same thing We had our first one 2 yrs ago...organic free range from the grocery store...it was awesome. Last year we bought a free-range from a local farmer....never again...it was sooooo tough. This year back to the organic free range...it is in the oven now and we will eat at 5. Hopefully it will be just as good as the first one we had 2 yrs ago. $65 for the damn turkey...my splurge for the year

 

$65 for the damn turkey...my splurge for the year

Yeah our's was $75.00 $15.00/lb, it had better not be tough...

I've since found another local grower that sells for $5.00/lb.

You know Rice, you could have probably gone to a shelter and got a real turkey dinner:taped:

 

Nope -- wrong color

 

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

P.S. Why you gotta hog all the "official" threads lately!

 

I'm leading up to something :xeye:

 

Where's the ham? :xeye:

 

Bud Light??? [emoji481]. (That's like "near beer", right?) [emoji31]

 

Rule # 1 ----- nothing fancy ----- she brings it home - whatever it is -- I'll drink it :thumb:

And a 24 pack lasts at least 4 + months :thumb:

 

In some stores they have the precooked meals --- for me in order of likeness --

Ham - beast-loaf - chicken :thumb:

So if she didn't get it -- no-gots

And a caned Dak's ham -- is just one more heating step that's not needed --

 

My wife said she wasn't going all out this year. But she has been cooking for 2 days. I usually smoke a duck but it was suposed to rain all day so I skipped it this year. We don't eat till 5 or 6. Gives me time to hit the treadmill and then have a couple cocktails. Happy thanksgiving everyone.

 

Smoked duck? I'll have to try that!

Spent yesterday smoking turkeys for us, my pastor, and a friend. Since I built this smoker I've become 'that guy...' Smoked for reunions, weddings, holidays, etc... Love it, though it's a lot of time and work.

So, we have a 25 pounder, and the wife is busy with the sides. Her Best Ever mashed potatoes (seriously, it's amazing how much better they are than regular), home made stuffing, I'll even have a peach pie for after...
Life is good, and I'm getting hungry!

 

Smoked Duck??? I haven't had that since I was a kid...it was great. I think I'm coming to your house next time you do that!

I never buy turkey unless it's under $1/lb.

 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

 

Bowl of rice Krispies and all is good in sal's house

 

I had a decent sized piece of turkey, a few spoonfuls of mashed potatoes with gravy and a big bowl of turnip. Go figure, people don't like turnip so there was plenty of that.

Washed at least a hundred dishes and lots of flatware. All in all, it was a good day. My wife came back from her horse ride in one piece and had fun so it was all good.

 

Wait.......what ? You mean TODAY is Thanksgiving??

 

Happy Thanksgiving. I cooked buffalo in a Dutch Oven for years. Our biggest dinner was 28 people. Today we are going to a really good steak house with friends. Prime rib is the other special besides large birds. We come home to a clean house.

Today is the best American holiday. Give thanks for your blessings. Show some gratitude today.

 

I have to say that I'm most thankful for the wonderful life I have, for my family and friends, including my friends here on the SB. If I had to offer an accounting for my life.......I would deserve none of it.

 

Wheres all the food photos ?

 

Not a FOOD photo, at least not today.

I cook a free full thanksgiving dinner for multiple down on their luck needy local families & deliver them personally.

Was loading up my SUV to make the deliveries a few minutes ago.
Went in the house to carry out another load & when I went back outside with both arms full.

For a moment I thought Santa had landed in my driveway.
6 fat does & a healthy big buck was standing in my driveway "sniffing" all the food in the open SUV.

Hope the world is being good to you-all & happy thanks giving.

LOL......

I could not fit a single solitary hot dog in my home freezers. Besides the 2 elk we bagged this year, butchered 2 hogs, 1 grass fed steer & bought twenty (over 24lbs each) turkeys wholesale from a supplier. BOL freezers are jammed FULL to. :thumb:

 

Since I currently live alone I decided to splurge and have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. If I find that I'm still hungry later I plan on having another peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

 

All PB&J's are triple decked

 

In my house T has always been for T-bone on Thanksgiving!!! Do the turkey and ham for Christmas. Usually camping somewhere for Thanksgiving. T-bone is much easier than turkey over the fire!!
