My true Thanksgiving dinner is going to have to wait a week, when my girlfriend isn't with her family. Fairly standard turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce, garlic mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans, baked sweet potatoes or yams, and pumpkin pie with egg nog ice cream. About the only difference from a lot of other Thanksgiving dinners is we make it all ourselves. That's half the fun.

I had basically just scalloped corn and a lot of rolls. I don't like turkey, or mashed potatos, or sweet potatos, or stuffing, so that was about all I could eat.

Nice to see that even the boys in Iraq got a turkey today.

Turkey, stuffing, the works...
The military was always really good about making sure you got Thanksgiving and Christmas meals that were spectacular, in comparison to the daily fair. Even in the woods.
Military cooks are some true professionals, when you can make a great meal like Thanksgiving and have all the trimmings, in a field environment.
Anyway, thanks for leaing the invasion Columbus, and thanks to the natives that helped feed the dumbass settlers....

roasted turkey with rasin dressing and gravy
mashed potatoes
broccoli rice casserole
French onion green bean casserole
cheese green bean casserole
cranberry jelly
dinner rolls
pumpkin pie, chocolate pie, and apple pie
apple dumplins
brownies and cookies
Mandarin orange cake
The feast was spectacular. Almost made up for having to spend two hours with extended family members who feel about me somewhere between hatred and near tolerance.

Split up with your girlfriend. Divorce your family. But do something.

Pfft.... Thanksgiving was more than a month ago.
Anyways, happy BELATED Thanksgiving.

And now that Tanksgiving is over, happy Buy Nothing Day.

Sounds like a good feast, Siggy. Green-bean and french onion casserole? Yum.
359: Sounds like a good one. It was the new bird's first meal with my family. It was also her first Thanksgiving and she'd never really had proper turkey (other than on sandwiches and the like) before. She was polite about it, but really just wasn't impressed by it. Maybe I'll have to get a Tofurky for next time.
Well I had rolls, mashed potatoes, vegetarian dressing, vegetarian mushroom dressing, veggie-gravy, ambrosia, cranberry (with jalape�o! no, but it was good!), sweet potatoes, green beans, boiled chestnuts with garlic-rubbed brussel sprouts, boiled potatoes, medalion carrots, and probably a bunch of other stuff I've forgotten. Forgotten because of the champagne and various wines sampled from out hosts world travels. Then there was a break. Then we brought out the pies: apple, pecan, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin, and berry all with optional vanilla ice-cream or coolwhip. I'll just be beached on my bed for the next couple days if anyone needs me.

I think we have a potential competitor to "what songs do people want to write all the lyrics out for" in the Most Pointless and Retarded Thread possible.
Although at least this one can only come once a year...

About the buy nothing day thing: Do parking permits count? If not, then I've successfully celebrated buy nothing day.

Of what? The ability to eat turkey? Or the ability to not have sex by reciting song lyrics?

No need to get uppity. I was just curious what people were having for Thanksgiving. Also I wasn't trying to exclude non-Americans. In fact, I thought it might be interesting to hear what sensible meals you lot were consuming on a day when we yanks were so unappologetically cramming our pie-holes with Turkey and stuffing. I suppose it might have been more interesting to find out what all we were thankful for, but then maybe that'd getting into the dodgy region of too-friendliness like the lyrics thread.
On the subject of buy nothing day, it was painful, but I resisted the urge to go and buy things at the Fry's Electronics one day sale. Highlights from the ad included DVD recorders US$199, stylin' tower ATX case with 450W PS $9.99 and free walkie-talkies (with built-in flashlights). Although I'm not really sure why you'd need a flashlight on a walkie-talkie. So I am a bad consumer and I have not shopped.

I lost a card game (no, not an interesting one), and did the usual holiday things, such as toddler-entertaining and pie-eating.
And I went to work.
Time and a half!
At work I finished the first essay, "On the Ontology of Mystery" (or is it "On the Mystery of Ontology?") in The Philosophy of Existentialism by Gabriel Marcel. Isn't everyone, especially Liam, enthused? I also did some Photoshoppery.

Do something about it, Humor Boy.
Also, I ate pizza. I am like the eye at the center of the whirlpool of hope.

So they stuffed your turkey with those kind of mushrooms?
