Going to my sister's place. It's nice because from there we head to the Corur 'd Alene resort to stay until Sunday morning. They have a tree lighting on Friday and there's lots of cool shops and restaurants nearby. I'm sure I will have to bring some homework which sucks but am looking forward to being near my fellow holiday homies. I hope everyone out there have a great holiday!!
Usually at my mom's house but switched to my house this year. Everything is pretty normal food lots of food, wine, football, and family. But I would say that there are three special things that go during Thanksgiving, 1.) it is always started by volunteering at a local fun run to raise money for the food bank, 2.) There is always sweet potatoe souffle and if there ever even crept a thought there wouldnt be someone would get hurt, 3.) Laslty there are always games played after the meal and football of course.
I had something new last year that I had never heard/thought of before but that turned out amazing. Combine canned cranberry sauce with prepared horseradish in the little jar. The ratio of cranberry/horseradish is up to you, but damn if it doesn't make for good sandwiches later.
After the Lions Football Victory, we will gather the family together and watch Thankskilling again. Absolute classic Thanksgiving movie. Gobble gobble motherf***er!
Deep fried turkey... with Wild Turkey.. several. Pies.... but not sure what the family is eating. To fry a 16# bird is 53 minutes ... thus more time to tell the wife I'm cooking without doing squat.
I'm not overly excited about Thanksgiving this year, normaly we spend the day at my sisters house. I decided that this year we will have Thanksgiving with my father instead, this will be the first holiday with him in 20 plus yrs. I'm having very mixed emotions right now. It is time to leave the past IN the past.
Me and Mrs Jones will be at my folks place for a traditional dinner. I'm bringing a good friend and fellow BOTL to dinner as well and we will holiday herf before the big meal. Have a happy safe holiday all!!
Slow roasted turkey ,stuffed with oyster dressing (not that breaded dressing with a few oysters that they serve in Mississippi. Hehehe Martel). Shrimp stuffed mirliton (if you have to ask, you haven't lived). Homemade macaroni and cheese, covered with turkey gravy. Stop me please. Homemade cranberry jelly: not sauce, but jelly like you find in the can, and homemade. - to die for. Pecan Pie. Bordeaux before meal, Chardonnay with, and followed with a nice port wine and good cigar. ZZZzzzzzzz.
