Most of our relatives live too far away to get together with, and my wife and I are childless baby boomers. So, we are having two childless cousins as dinner guests, and we got a prepared Thanksgiving dinner from the Cracker Barrel.

I forgot to mention that before and after dinner, I will be enjoying some fine, aged tobacco in a hand carved meerschaum pipe.

“ditching the useless green bean casserole.”

You wouldn’t say that if you had my GBC. None of that cream of mushroom soup and fried onions on top crap.

Perfect story.

Loved every minute of reading it.

My chef brother told me many years too late, don’t mess with Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone expects Grandma’s menu.

I imagine he was the voice of experience.

That looks like a good one to take to someone else’s house if there will be children present.

We have a linen tablecloth that everyone signs in sharpie marker. It’s a lovely reminder of the people that are no longer with us. The cloth goes back very far in time.

Yesterday was turkey soup, with rice and veggies. Today turkey pot pie. I cheated with a store bought crust, just prebake the bottom crust, fill with a premix of cut up turkey, add chunks of stuffing, mashed potatoes, with whatever leftover veggies you want. Fill bottom crust, pour gravy over it all, add top crust and bake 350 for an hour maybe a bit longer. You can tell when the too crust looks done. Half eaten already so I figured I better get a picture. 0-02-01-d7399aca5a3c124b43bd0617725df4348c8dd3a9c945b8bb75f039ad9272e3fc-310496b9fc0f4d39 0-02-01-3d3dddcc2239bc7f16515871c966a958ede2b1648b6f9fb80a7d0a0fd3db90ba-8f225213960d02c2
