Americans will never satisfy their lust for turkey and pumpkin pie

Happy Thanksgiving, all you crazy Americans. What y'all doing today?

Besides not keeping me entertained on Halforums.

Watch some football and dinner with my girlfriend's family. Thanksgiving isn't my favorite holiday but I'll never complain about a 4 day weekend.

We're having dinner with our next door neighbors. I'm making the turkey. I also made an apple pie cheesecake. While I'm waiting for the turkey to cook I plan on playing a lot of Dragon Age.

Our dinner guests shrunk by half because they are stuck in PA due to snow and ice. But I'm taking a break from cooking for the 5 adults (plus Li'l Z) who still be attending.

With everyone losing weight and our stomachs shrinking up, I may have over-estimated the feast just a wee bit.

Hey Tin, you can pass the rest of the mashed potatoes and gravy this way!

Just so long as you guys leave the ants-in-a-tree* alone! That's mine.

I just popped the ring off of the springform pan. I can't wait to dig into this! And my turkey also smells amazing.

Our family does Thanksgiving "lunch" so my day's done, I'm wanting to nap, but my aunt wants me to help her with her Christmas trees later.

I used this recipe, but with a cinnamon graham cracker crust.[DOUBLEPOST=1417131256,1417131137][/DOUBLEPOST]Oh and Turkey's Done! I have honestly impressed myself with this one though I'm worried it'll be dry.

Oh god... why did I eat so much. Why did I eat the stuffing... and the macaroni salad... and the potato salad... and the green beans... and the collard greens, and the ham...

And then why did I go back for pie?

And cake...

And banana pudding... dear god the banana pudding.

I think I'm sweating gravy. On my tombstone, it will say "Here lies Poe... he had to buy two plots"

I was going to say you've done shamefully little damage to that bottle of wine, but no, you've just done shamefully little damage.

Hey, all! Happy turkey/ham/tofu/planked salmon/whatever day!

Also, happy 6th anniversary of Halforums!
At least, that's what my calendar tells me for some reason. Hmm, must be for the current incarnation or something.

There's a burger joint in my little suburb that does an incredible turkey burger on American Thanksgiving (since no one is going to go to their little burger joint on Canadian Thanksgiving). It's a homemade turkey burger with duck confit and grilled chicken skin (yeah, it's awesome) with turkey gravy sauce and cranberry mustard. It's the one and only time of year I will ever eat a turkey burger.

We actually had 3 bottles all told.

As for the rest...so true.

I co-hosted dinner for four people: roommate, roommate's girlfriend, the girl I'm dating, and myself. Though small, it was quite a merry gathering. Here's a list of what we had.

Sushi appetizer
Salad from Castle Black (spinach, turnip greens, chickpeas, and raisins)
Mulled wine
Turkey with sage and apples
Cornbread stuffing
Mashed potatoes
Crusty white bread
White beans and bacon
Chocolate pie
Apple pie

I should add this was my first attempt making a Thanksgiving turkey, ever.

Isn't it weird that we kill birds, strip them naked, set them on fire, and then shove things in their butts.

Just saying guys.

You know, I'm surprised Black friday doesn't have more looting in general.

We shot off a lot of quality fireworks, then played with some really creepy Halloween objects and masks. My cousin's Yankee husband said that he thought we should have our own reality TV show.

I was really proud that my dog Ralph did not freak out about either the very loud fireworks of the Halloween props.

I bought my wife a christmas gift last week, and it just happened to arrive today.

Went to the mall to pick it up. The parking lot is a mad house. I have to circle the entire mall twice before I find a spot.

Get inside, and the mall is practically empty. It's just like every typical mid-day friday crowd.

Where the fuck are all those poeple?

I went shopping last night with my neighbor. It was crowded, but not anything worse than I've seen on a weekend. We hit Target, then the upscale mall downtown. Got decent parking both at places.My Christmas shopping is practically done.

Most of my shopping was done a few days ago. I'll get the rest of it done online. Unless I'm going to the movies, I won't set foot in a shopping mall between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I did Gray Thursday, or whatever they call it for the first time ever. I broke a vow never to participate in thanksgiving shopping. But my wife has been asking for a tablet for a long time, and Target had a really good deal.

Target opened at 6, and I got there at 6. The line was long, and I figured I was out of luck. But I got in it anyway, just as it started moving. I made it in and headed to the electronics section, where there was another line for Apple specifically. I figured still I was out of luck, but I wasn't too far back. The line filled in behind me, and I was mildly amused by the fact that some of the people in line behind me were talking about how they'd been in line for 3-4 hours. Maybe you should've walked to the back of the store faster. Anyway. I got my tablet for a clean $100 off, and I barely waited in line. Win.

My sister in law got a $100 tablet that will literally only cost her a couple of dollars, provided she doesn't get stonewalled on the mail in rebates. One of those things where coupons and rebates just started piling up on top of each other.
