What’s on the table? Anything new? any family favs?
In our family it’s traditional to wear the pitted black olives on your fingers. Also the stuffing must have TONS of sage. Every morning my Dad tells the turkey cookers in the family, even calls them if they live away, to remember to put a lot of sage in the stuffing. This is called his “sage advice,” of course. I expect him to call in a few hours.
Happy Turkey day!

This year we’ve gota huge bonfire going, and were doing smores. (nobody likes 'em much, except my little brother, we just want the chocolate.)

I mean cider. Don’t want to confuse the two.
Dinner with the family
I’m over on the west coast of Florida (was in Port Charlotte, currently in Bradenton) for Thanksgiving, and tonight we had:
A 22lb turkey
A large ham leg/thigh? with pineapple
10lbs of stuffing
10lbs of mashed potatoes
~5lbs of sweet potatoes
a lot of cranberry sauce
large pots of hot buttered carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, and green beans
8 3"x9"x3" ‘individual’ carrot cakes that my mom made
^with creamcheese icing
a large cranberry cheesecake that my uncle phil made
chocolate peanut-butter bars
chocolate brickle
“magic bars” (homemade cookie-type bars - chocolate chips, coconut, walnuts, sweet&condensed milk, graham crackers, something else…delicious)
maybe some more, but that’s what I ate…
Everything was homemade by my aunt rosie, betty (& her mother-in-law), joyce, katie, my cousin theresa, my mom, and my sister. My mother is the 11th born of 13 children, and each of her brothers/sisters have had at least a few children/grandchildren, so there is no shortage of help around the house (or kitchen).
We didn’t have our whole family here for Thanksgiving, heck, I don’t even know the whole family, but there were a bunch of us here and we all had a great dinner 
NOOOO! My 'Boys lost!
Damn you, Cundiff!
HECK YES! me too
and croissants are my fav… oh yeah, with cranberry jelly on them… oHHOHHOHOHH!

mmmmm. Sounds very yummy.
Thanksgiving or any other Turkey related event can not possibly be held with out the presents of Yorkshire Puddings (Pop-overs) and gravy. What the heck are you people thinking, and correct me if i’m wrong but was there cranberry sauce or jelly on the list anywhere. Turnips, spaghetti squash, sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts??? I mean, that’s like eating before grace, its almost criminal. But then again, I am Canadian, so what do I know about thanksgiving. we had ours seems like ages ago.
Yeah we had cranberry sauce of course, everyone does I think.
My mom made it (she makes almost everything from scratch). She also made sweet potatoe pie instead of pumpkin. It tastes the same but a little sweeter. And we had swiss chard, which is a green leafy thing sortof like spinach.
The buffalo meat was great!
Speaking of pie, whats the damage report? I had at least 4 peices of pumpkin and two of pecan yesterday. And another two today.
