Happy Thanksgiving!!
 

Life isn’t perfect, but I have a lot to be thankful for this year. My family is doing well. No divorce, accidents, or deaths this year. My kids are making good grades. Business is good and getting better. My faith is strong as ever, and I’m thankful for that. I live in the greatest democracy on earth (despite all the press). My table is full and so is my tummy (or soon will be). Not everyone is that fortunate, I can tell that by watching and reading the news everyday. Its good to be blessed, and its great to be blessed in America, the land of opportunity!




Sorry for thinking out loud……I’m just trying to psyche myself into getting up at 2am to put the turkey on the smoker!!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!

Are you having the turkey for breakfast:confused:

Have it for dinner.

Happy Thanksgiving to ALL my SB Friends!!!!

I, too, have much to be thankful for in my life. My children and husband are healthy and happy. Life is good. We live in the best nation in the world. I am most thankful for Jesus Christ as my Savior because without him ALL of this would not be possible.

Happy Thanksgiving To All
May you all have a good day and have plenty to eat.:pray::pray:

So how many pies have you been baking Piemaker? I've got my sweet potato in now! Smelling good too!

I'm cooking lunch for 12.....

Thank you for thinking out loud
 

Well said, well said.... Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Girl I ain't baking no turkey, I'm Slooooooooowww SMOKIN' it! Seven or eight hours ought to do it... Sometimes I even finish it off in the oven for an hour or two...

Happy Thankgiving Tbelle! I wish you and your family a very happy holiday season. Yes I forgot to mention my SB friends... I'm even thankful for joepole. I might be a point or two smarter this year! :p

Well Pokie I done 2 chocolate, 2 lemon ice box, 2 peanut butter, and an extra huge bannana pudding [ I had to double it 4 times] homemade choclate pudding, and a pumpkin. Now I'm tired. I also done dressing except for baking it, english pea salad. Now I'm resting.

Job well done!!! :clap: We have a couple of pumpkin pies in the works complete with homemade whipped cream...

BTW, is there any difference between "heavy cream" and "whipping cream"... I know we ain't talkin' half-n-half here. :D

Heavy cream has a milk fat content of between 36 and 40 percent. Whipping cream will double in volume when whipped. whipping cream has 30–36% fat. One has more fat content is all.

OK, Ms. Hertz is right and I'm wrong. No big deal. I'm a man and I can admit that......in public...to what is it? two million readers? LOL....

I'm proud of you. It takes a good man :laugh: to admit when he is wrong.:peace:

yeah that's fine and all, but just for the record, Krogers was plum out of "heavy whipping cream" in the half-pint blue carton, so I got two of the little cartons of "whipping cream" in the small red carton... (size like we had in grade school) LOL, at least I got something... :D

Just checking in. Happy Thanksgiving. We're having a full house tomorrow as well, but Mrs. Morph is doing all the cooking. I'm looking forward to napping on the couch.

Wow! Now that's impressive!:bow:How many are you feeding? I made my dressing too today. My daughters are cooking some this year so I have less to do. I've got to make my twice baked potatoes tomorrow still. My family prefers those over mashed. Getting hungry thinking about it all!:lick:

I'm hungry now, just reading about it. I agree twice baked>mashed. Lucky folks at Casa de Pokie, that's for sure.

I'm smoking the turkey and ham and I'm also making the macaroni-and-cheese and that's it! That's all I can handle... LOL, after I eat some turkey then I'm really a gonner.. Turkey makes me sleepy... Its the tryptophan I guess... A little wine won't hurt.. It will be time for a nap for sure..

Now you're talkin'. You're a good man to take on as much as you do. I overdid the wine last night, but I was a teetotaler today, so I should be good to go tomorrow:D Too much red hurts me every time. I think I'll go with a nice gewurztraminer tomorrow.

OK, its almost 1am and the fire is hot, and I'm about to put my turkey on the smoker..... I might be a little early... :D

Some folks up late tonight :)

Been up late myself, workin' on the ol' Thanksgiving Podcast.. music suitable for the whole family :laugh:

Happy Thanksgiving everybody.. and good luck !! :cool:

Some stay up late and others get up early. rhertz likes to hurry up and wait :D do not get your fire to hot rhertz you will burn the turkey. Latenight might be called early morning and to both you and the rest of the board Happy Thanksgiving !!!

oh the memories.. here's a shot from the LateNight childhood home back around '75 thanksgiving. That's "Ma" standin' up with the gallon of milk.. don't think she ever ate a "hot" meal.. LOL
The Jesus lookin' guys are of course my older brothers... I'm the little runt standin' in the back. :peace: Happy Thanksgivin' everybody.

Time for football!

:rotflol::rotflol::rotflol::rotflol::rotflol: You so right squaw ! Same to ya Pokie ;)

As they would say !! Who do we have today and where do they play. We are having dinner instead of lunch so I get to enjoy football and a butterball on the smoker all afternoon. I hope rhertz is right about how to do this bird :peace:

Unfortunately, someone has to work today:( Things are pretty slow, so I'm gonna try to go by MOMS in a bit for some turkey and dressing:D
Happy Thanks Giving everyone!:peace:

Ugh! I'm stuffed! I can hardly watch the Cowboys with one eye open. I thought maybe I might wake up if I get up and do something.... :D

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Well it is Thanksgiving Night, I hope all had fun and plenty to eat. I have done Thanksgiving and is now working on Christmas. Got the decorations up , the tree is up , all the lights are on , it is cold outside and it's beginning to look alot like Christmas. Love this time of year!:D:D

+1...:peace:

Morpheus I just saw "Wedding Crashers" while vegging out on tv.... Funny Flick.. Now I know where your "motorboat" avatar comes from!

Sorry you had to work today Vix. It's just not Happy Thanksgiving without turkey and dressing... Hope you got some.. I'd just as soon miss my cabbage and black-eyed peas on new years before I'd miss my dressing on Thanksgiving. :D

I'm stuffed as well. So nice and chilly that we had a fire in the fireplace!
I love it! It is beginning to feel alot like Christmas now with the drop in temps!
Pie I wish I could get motivated to do some Christmas decorating. I love it once it's put up but the prepping drives me nuts.:rolleyes:

Well, I've been in a ditch working an accident:eek:
But I just finished some T&D from moms!:D And I am stuuuufffed!:laugh:
It was worth the wait! Tomorrow should be fun:rolleyes: Lots of traffic, and crowded parking lots:nono:

rhertz I cook my turkey on a smoker for three hours and it turned out great. I think if had left it for six it would have been over cooked. Anyhoo it was great FFNB :eek: time for left overs for a few days. Vix glad you got your dinner and I know you will be busy today with the traffic. On to the next holiday and then the new year !

That is why I was wondering why rhertz said he was getting up so early to smoke the turkey. It only takes us about 3-4 hrs. as well and it was a fairly large bird.

Everyone have a great Friday!!! I'm off to my parents house for a weekend of more celebrating and family reunions!
