[Nick M]

Gluten myself at an in-laws.

 

[Frank Ernest]

We're headed for daughter and son-in-law. Always a pleasure.

 

[Granite]

At the in-laws for brunch, folks's place around three. Go Lions.

 

[Krsto]

We are having a warm spell so I gotta finish painting my house

Haven't figured out if we are doing dinner at my house or the in-laws. Not that it really matters, we live on the same cul-de-sac.

 

[Tico]

...not eating rice, beans, or chicken.

 

[ghost]

Just the wife and the kids, a turkey, a couple of home-made pies, and topping it off with all of us snuggled together watching White Christmas

 

[CabinetMaker]

A little horsing around in the morning (hopefully with the girls), making some green beans and then heading over to some in-laws to feast on turkey and taters.

 

[Joe Lang]

I will spend my Thanksgiving with my two grandchildren and a few other relatives

Life is good

 

[rocketman]

I will get up early put a turkey in the smoker go back to bed, later head to the in-laws for food, wine , and merriment. When the tryptophan kicks in I will fall asleep in the in-laws easy chair to the background of a football game or two...:cloud9:

:turkey: Happy Thanksgiving to everyone here at TOL! :turkey:

 

[Buzzword]

My wife's marinating a 5-pound roast overnight, then searing the flavor in and crockpotting it for 8 hours.
Mashed potatoes, cream-style corn, green beans, rolls, and a made-from-scratch apple crumble pie for dessert.

Gonna be surrounded by in-laws around here, since my wife's grandma finally consented to getting out of the house, and my father-in-law really doesn't have anywhere else to go on holidays (most of his family hasn't lived past 50).

Then my parents are coming into town on Friday for Thanksgiving Part 2.

 

[Krsto]

...not eating rice, beans, or chicken.

How is that even possible in Costa Rica?

 

[Tico]

How is that even possible in Costa Rica?

I could always fast...

 

[Dena]

I'm not entirely sure. Maybe my husband's aunt and uncle's in the afternoon, his Grandmother in the evening then on Saturday my family and Sunday, his parents. At any rate there isn't going to be any lack of family time.

We get a double dose...

• Thanksgiving day with our daughter/son-in-law and grand kids

• Saturday again at our daughter's with our grandchildren and great grand daughter.

Two marvelous days for us.​

 

[sky.]

Going to my fathers house where I am in charge of dessert. There will be 18 of us including Aunts, Uncles and friends. The dessert table will have six pies a cupcake tree with Cherry Chip and pink frosting cupcakes for the young granddaughters of my mom who is now at home with the Lord. A photo album with pictures of her with us and her grandchildren all through her life and whipped cream. I have a vision and the beginning of a tradition in memory of my Mom. I hope to add to the photo album each year.

Turkey and all the carbs allowed in one week will be served in one day.

 

[ebenz47037]

This is my first Thanksgiving in 21 years, that I'm going to be alone. I'm going to cook a turkey breast roast, candied yams, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, and green bean casserole. In other words, I will have plenty of leftovers for at least a week's worth of sandwiches and casseroles and soups. :chuckle: Either that or I will have some very happy dogs this weekend.

 

[ghost]

Nori, I wish you lived closer. We'd have you share it with us

 

[ebenz47037]

Me too. When I told :jessilu: that I don't like being alone for Thanksgiving, she said, "Oh well!" and went on to start telling me what she wants me to send her for Christmas.

I'm so sorry. I wish there was something I could say or do.
