Hello, Dakka! Happy Thanksgiving! So, what will you be doing tommorow? For me, just a classic day of stuffing my face.

Turkey and ham...and all the turkey sandwiches afterwards. Since I can't drink because of the meds...headseat and mount & Blade..to avoid listening to family members...and one been to OWS a couple of times

Playing vidya games with my cousins.

I'll be going to three meals.

1.) My girlfriend's family

2.) My parent's

3.) My extended family (my mom is the black sheep and doesn't get along with most of my family)

Safe to say I'm wearing my loose pants tomorrow

Happy Turkey day to those that it will have meaning for!
Cooking, and trying to stay awake after all that Turkey....MMMMMMM!

I'm actually going to a Thanksgiving Dinner on the weekend with some American's so, Happy Thanksgiving for me too!

I am having the family over at my place. They will come after I have put my models away...

Oh wow, well if its a true American Thanksgiving dinner, Id suggest, either dont eat at all that day, or have a very small breakfast. Trust me, youll thank me later.



Well the wife usually does the cooking, but shes working a short shift mid day (getting double time for it ) so its up to me to cook the food this year! Not a problem, as I rather enjoy cooking. And I think Ill actually watch the football game even.

So, Grilled Turkey for the KC family?

Guys thanksgiving isn't for another 11 months don't you think it's a little early to be talking about it?

I second this.

Silly Americans.

I'm pretty excited because my sister decided to host it at her house this year. Long story short, I don't have to cook anything, and my sister is a better cook than I, so it's a win all around.

On the downside, I'm at work and will be until 8am. It's not like we'll be carving the turkey for breakfast, but it would have been nice to sleep the night before like the other daywalkers.

Trying to sleep, eating dinner, then going to work.

I am having a couple of friends over, my housemate is having a friend over.

I am making Turkey, Wild rice, sausage and pinenut stuffing, gravy from the drippings and gizzards, roasted garlic mash, roasted sweet potatoes with pecans and spiced maple syrup glaze, roasted squash, gren beans and corn with bacon, cheese popovers, salad, and cranberry chutney, pumpkin pie and key lime pie.

There will of course be alcohol to drink and games to play.

Cheesecat, we are just celebrating it late because of scheduling conflicts. Kind of like having your birthday party on a Saturday though your birthday is on a Wednesday.

Did you see the size of the turkey that The President pardoned?



He would have needed a bazooka to deal with it otherwise.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Bwahahah. Just believable enough to be funny.


I made pasta-- manicotti stuffed with a ricotta mixture (sharp white cheddar, colby-jack, provologne, romano, and some onion and garlic powder), with vodka sauce coating the bottom of the pan and over the manicottis, topping it with colby-jack and romano. And some cheddar-based macaroni and cheese and a supply of toasted bread crumbs to suit those of less refined tastes.

Someone else is bringing the turkey, mashed potatoes, etc.

Sadly no, my grill isnt big enough to fit that sucker in. I wish though, grilled turkey is beyond fantastic

More like silly Canadians. There are more Americans then Canadians. Meaning more of us say Thanksgiving is today. Ergo - We are correct

My missus is making a fake thanksgiving dinner here in England and were having 12 friends over. She even got her mum to mail over some pumpkin in a can so we can make a pie.

Its going to be almost like the one I went to last year in California, except this year we will be drinking 8-10 pints of bitter in the local pub before hand, and we wont be able to kill any Indians after we eat because there aren't any in Yorkshire.

There are loads of Indians in Yorkshire! Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis...

Don't kill any of them, mind.


Incidentally, there is, apparently, a Native American buried in Linthorpe Cemetery in Middlesbrough. Which I find quite interesting.

i will be sleeping through all hte visiting family (i work nights) and feasting on whats left before going in to work

This Thanksgiving will be a rather small affair as my family all live several States away, and my Missus' Family have all gone out of town...so it's just The Missus,myself and the kids.
I'm cooking a "small" meal ( Turkey, spiced sausage stuffing, candied sweet potato casserole, baked beans, collards and biscuits + pies) and the four of us will munch then lounge.
...Hope everyone has a happy Turkey day.

Turkey, football, and beer. Not necessarily in that order or in moderation.

Waitrose sell canned pumpkin around this time of year.

Happy Turkey day ya'll! Spending time with the family... its been over 7 years since we've been able to all be together so its a real treat!

3 Thanksgivings as well today, then work at 6am tomorrow. Joy.

@Kilkrazy: what is the turkey's name?
