Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

but that's what the 4th of July is for...Independence day!! We just keep it quiet that Thanksgiving is that also...

Thanks for all the well wishes QLers....Had a HUGE party at hubby's work yesterday..over 300 people showed up. It was so nice to share our traditions with those that have never experienced it and also to allow them to taste foods that otherwise they'd never get to taste. Only the turkey and potatoes were catered..everything else was brought by the employees...such a great time for sharing!!

Da..i DO remember that night...you walked right by me in Orions and THEN called me on the phone! lol

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

From what I've read, Thanksgiving Day means "Thank God the British are out of the goddamn American soil for good!"

"Everything in this book may be wrong." Illusions: The Adventures of The Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach

Does that make it tastier ??

You can't teach experience...

Thank you, darlin'! I've got three pies in the oven and a 10 kilo bird in the sink. I'm just so thankful I found sweet potatoes and pie pans in FFC yesterday!

Mandi

to all. specially our American friends.

I am praying to be surprised today by a roasted turkey and some nice pies at my door step :D

Unfortunately, Santa is not around to ask him

===================================== http://www.qatarliving.com/node/58409

Thanksgiving Day, is a harvest festival. Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude in general. It is primarily a North American holiday which has generally become a national secular holiday with religious origins. Thanksgiving Day, celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November, at the end of the harvest season. The American traditions of Thanksgiving revolve around a huge and lavish meal, usually with Turkey as the centerpiece. For those who do not like Turkey, a Roast or Prime Rib is common. As tradition has it in most families, a special prayer of thanks precedes the meal. In many homes, family members will each mention something they are very thankful for.

Yes, we celebrate it also , but for different reasons..

We give thanks that we gave independence to our former colony..

Hope all of you have a great day..Keep the Alka Seltzer, Enos and similar handy..

Scarlett, Happy Thanksgiving to you too! Unfortunately I never celebrated Thanksgiving, but would be nice once in the real american environment. And to go to the Macy's Parade as well! Have you been there?

It's true that had working hadn't killed anyone yet, but why to take risk?

Meany. Just when I was thinking that the old DaRuDe had become DaMelLow.. and wondering, was that the effects of a relaxing vacation, or some other influence ....yani....female.....? Something you're not telling us? Come on Da, you can tell your Auntie Notfromhere..... :-PPP

Ok the hijack ends here, why are you picking on Scarlett anyway?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!!!

Notfromhere:

I Wouldn't mind getting in the way of eating some of that stuff u mentioned, especially that 21lb bird :)

T day?? you mean MY ME ME ME MY DAY? or Thursday? oh you sure do know my name :D

You can't teach experience...

why if its always thanksgiving, we serve turkey? Howcome? why not like pork for instance... :D

and Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Made 2 pumpkin pies and a Dutch Apple Cake yesterday, chopped and prepped all the veggies, cubed 2 lbs of bread for the stuffing.

Once I pry myself away from the internet, I'll go wrestle with that 21-lb bird.

But it's just not the same since it's not a school/work holiday. I'll be cooking by myself, instead of having the kids helping and hubby getting in the way :-(

Does anyone want to volunteer to come get in the way while I cook? :-D

Count your blessings today everyone.

Have a good one :D

An annual "cull" just to satisfy the needs of the few..

I am now forming "T.W.I.T.S" - Thanksgiving Without Its Turkeys society"..

We will only eat potatoes, Carrots, broccoli and meat from organic pasture lands..

WHO WILL JOIN ME????
