BEER. Keep it cold and keep it coming!
Alton Brown’s “turkey triangle” has changed our Thanksgiving forever.
Seconds for pumpkin pie while watching college football. Least favorite: Dems vs. Conservatives dinner table debate.
Lasagna with turkey on the side. Turkey should have italian sausage stuffing. That was the holiday dinner of choice growing up in the Bronx.
Then Pumpkin pie for desert. Though some prefered cannoli. (Leave the gun...take the cannoli)
The turkey dressing is my favorite part. I use the recipe handed down from my great grandmother.
Some of my grandchildren are now using that recipe.
Root vegetables (potatoes, turnips, parsnips) boiled to death and mashed.
my momma’s gravy... it is the best...
Favorite Thanksgiving memory was preparing a complete Tyhanksgiving dinner with all the trimming while deployed to Riyadh KSA.
We were sitting around watching AFN when somebody started talking about missing Thanksgiving. We all joined in and pretty soon money was being thrown into a hat and we bought all the “stuff” at the Commissary that was set up for the Riyadh personnel.
Cooked the whole thing by myself, served 12 people. It worked out so well we did it again for Christmas dinner.
This year it’ll be a Thanksgiving will fall on the second night of Chanukah.

Happy Thanksgivukkah to all!

Thanksgiving at my grandparents farm with all my aunts bustling around the kitchen, cooking. Granny had an old stove with a woodbox on one end ... very small oven area, but the food that she managed to make ..... still can smell it baking and the kitchen was so nice and warm.
Since it is just going to be my wife and me, we are having a Costco Kirkland brand smoked turkey breast, baked sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, rolls, green beans for her, and a Costco apple pie for me and a pumpkin pie for her.
Friday and Saturday will be leftovers.
Having all my alcoholic Detroit Lions fans have car trouble at least 100 miles away at noon - priceless.

I used to have an olive-salad I’d make.
A bunch of different olives (klamata, green, black, red, etc), with cubes of cheese, [toasted] bread, and tomatoes with an olive-oil/balsamic-vinegar dressing; usually served in a bowl made from the hollowed out bread.
My most memorable Thanksgiving was spent on an Artillery OP in Korea. Apparently the BN CO took pity on us and sent a crew with full mermite containers, a complete Thanksgiving meal for the FO team.
Listening to my grandchildren’s gratitude lists around the table.
Preteen boys can’t seem to come up with a reason that doesn’t relate to sports.
11 year old granddaughter decided to play a “joke” on Nonny(me) by saying that she is grateful that Barack Obama is our POTUS. haha
No seconds on pie for you, Adelaide.
Tradition - I sit in the recliner, drinking Scotch and listening to Steely Dan on mp3 player, while my extended family trashes my house and screeches like banshees on the moors.
It’s not my favorite holiday.
