Same to you!

Tonight I will be baking a fresh pumpkin pie and a mixed fruit pie. I use brown sugar in my pies for extra kick.

Yummmmm!

I thought I'd get out of cooking for Thanksgiving...no such luck. Somehow, even though we are the only ones that live out of town, we got picked to do it. I'll get up tomorrow morning and start on the bird and ham, the wife will be on the baked beans and tater salad. Costco is baking the pumpkin pie, as we wont have time for it. At least my brother's fiance will be doing something for once in her miserable life...she's making the candied yams. Stovetop has already made the dressing for us...I jsut have to add the butter and water.

All of this AFTER a 5 hour drive.

Every once in a Blue Moon my birthday falls on Thanksgiving.
Or, as the G/F says "Thanksgiving is on my birthday this year"
I'll drink to that.

I made the brine last night. Bird is defrosted, and will bathe in the brine later today.

A happy Thanksgiving to you all, as well.

Note I resisted the urge to make any political statement....

May I suggest taking some time for these holiday classics, again:

Alice's Restaurant - the song, not the lame movie.

Planes. Trains and Automobiles - now out on BluRay

Scent of a Woman - how many of you remember that it's about Thanksgiving?

The Thanksgiving Song

Local Walmart was fresh out of brown sugar...and a lot of other stuff that people typically need for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner!

Wasn't sure if the empty shelves were the result of Thanksgiving...or an impending hurricane!!!

Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving to all!
