I just bought myself a couple of turkey breast pieces (hubby doesnt like bird) and some parsnips and some pumpkin. I'm thinkin' I'll grill the turkey with a steak for him (howz that for Southern?) and make a pumpkin pie and have some parsnips and taters and corn Smile

Its just the 2 of us, so I'll even have leftovers for a sammich the next day Very Happy

i have never, ever celebrated thanksgiving and only heard of it on the internet.
So chances are, i'll do the same thing I do any saturday which is cook for my wife. The light is a bit non for photography so I might simply end up hiking.

I find it harder and harder to remember Thanksgiving the longer I'm away from home.sigh. I got a stuffed turkey crown from the local butcher, on the recommendation of a friend, rather than doing the whole bird! Going to do mashed spuds, parsnips, brussel sprouts (or "brains" as my kids call them!) and carrots.plus gallons of gravy! Mmmmmmmmmmm! Inevitably we will do what we always do on major holidays and eat like it's our last meal on earth and have to lay on the couch holding our bellies and groaning; until a few hours later when we'll be back in the kitchen making turkey sandwiches! LOL Wish we could be watching some football while enjoying the day! Very Happy

Hope you enjoy your day wherever you are and with whomever you are celebrating.

Happy Thanksgiving,
Laura Smile

I went out and bought all the fixings today. Should be a lovely meal. Organic turkey (my husband insists), stuffing, cranberry sauce, brussel sprouts, carrots, parsnips, mash, and the makings for pumpkin pie with whipped cream to top it all off. Yum!

I'm sure I will have to roll myself away from the table, as usual.

Enjoy your Thanksgivings!

Just about to pop my 15 pound bird into the oven (which is barely big enough). Stuffing, potatoes, green beans and almonds, biscuits, and corn.

I'm having a few Canadian work colleagues over (we're letting one poor Yankee crash the Canadian festivities).

Had a heck of a time trying to find that darn turkey!

Gobble gobble!

Happy thanksgiving everyone! I'm visiting my family in Toronto this weekend and man, I forgot how chilly it gets here in October Smile Today should be nice though.

Hope everyone has a good one -
Matt
