Thanksgiving food and traditions...

[blaze83]

Hi everyone,

some really neat traditions around the country...I miss the turkey day with my folks. when I was in high school and college in Montana  my dad and I would always go deer hunting on thanksgiving day. it was usually the last weekend of rifle season so we would get up early and go out for a few hours while mom would cook all the traditional stuff, turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes & gravy home made biscuits green beans or peas and pumkin and apple pie.  We would get home around 2 o'clock and eat and watch the cowboys play the traditional afternoon football game. We have  small family so it was always a small gathering. now that I live in Seattle and my parents live in Ohio, it's a phone call  :(  I usually go over to friends from church and eat, it's nice but not quite the same. Miss those hunts with my dad,

may your holliday be blessed and safe

What a surprise it would be to show up on his doorstep, unannounced, on one of these holiday weekends.  Even for a few hours, it would make their holidays special.

hey Tom,

I flew back and saw them earlier this fall, actually went to the logging show in Cambridge,  it was only a few miles from my folk's place.  if things go according to plan, this will be the last holiday season I'll miss. 8)

Beenthere,

I can't seem to convince myself when to stop eating,  I know it's to much when I have to pop the top button on the Levi's to make room for expansion... still force down the extra piece of pie though, or the late evening turkey samwich  :D

Or, Daren's YO YO's look like your bread.

Fryed turkey, baked ham, carrot suffle, stuffing, and pecan pie.  Those are the standards around here. New things each year are tryed out for fun.

I like dessert first, so that happened about 1:30 today. Afterwards, the grand daughters searched for their Christmas tree (last year their was 6" of snow when they did that).




Later about 5 came the turkey dinner and all the fixin's. Plumb full now, but I had dessert when I had room for dessert  ;D
