Happy Thanksgiving

[Cindy]

I know Thanksgiving is a major holiday for our USA brothers and sisters.

I also know that many of you miss your family, your children and your close ones on such events.

May I just give my love to all of my USA friends, may you have a great holiday and may you be able to have a fun time with your loved ones.

If you are lonely remember your family here is open as usual for you. You can post and talk to Mods if you feel depressed.

And maybe someone can explain why you eat turkey 4 weeks before Christmas

Happy Holidays from Australia

Cindy, thank you for all your help & I hope you have a very nice Holiday season down under. Turkey is great food and I even eat turkey bacon. Baking a turkey is tradition here for every woman & since they are so large leftover turkey can last for weeks.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!!!!!!!!

I won't be eating turkey. Han will be on my menu. Never really liked turkey. And when I was growing up my mom hated turkey so we would have roast lamb, or some kind of seafood for the holidays.

Thanks, Cindy, I'll be around, too, if anyone wants to talk. Hugs, Devlyn

Thanks Cindy.

We eat turkey because its tradition (though the pilgrims likely are smaller game birds or venison on the earlier days). Turkeys are all over the place here, so they were fairly easy kills back in the day. I tend to make goose on Christmas.

I'll try to find some pictures of the wild turkeys who live in my woods and post them for you.

I could eat turkey 4 weeks before anything. 

Thanks a bundle, Cindy. You are truly a wonderful person!

[Ms. OBrien CVT]

It is funny that we have turkey for Thanksgiving, because it has been proven that the Pilgrims wold have most likely had venison.

In the meantime ...

Thank you Sis 

I knew I would be alone today so I picked up a small turkey breast and a few other things at the store last night, woke up this morning feeling rather flat and didn't even want to get out of bed

But then I remembered that there is usually at least one football game on Thanksgiving    So I got up and got going, turned on the first game of the day and put my turkey breast in the crock pot

All and all it's turned out to be a pretty good day and the solitude was actually rather relaxing    Now the turkey is about ready so I'll whip up some gravy and make some mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts, snack on some nuts, olives and some of my home made pickles

Oh, and the third game of the day is about to get underway

Happy Thanksgiving
Everyone

Hugs

Now we know where to look if he disappears!

Everyone have a great day and enjoy this crazy life. Gotta go......more football!!

[Jamie D]

Gawd, I've got the sweats.

And we haven't even had dessert.

Pass the Pepto Bismol, please.

Happy <burp> Thanksgiving, everyone.

I thought Australians ate kangaroos for Christmas.  One of those 6 white boomers.

[Lavender]

Nearly over, an I'm about to explode x.x hooray!

[LordKAT]

I have roast tiger

Even if disquised by spots?

[Lauren5]

This is not a family day for me,  and with the unfortunate turn of events, it looks like it's going to be a lonely holiday for me from now on.

And I eat ravioli at Christmas

[Cindy]

Even if disquised by spots?

I never roast friends! It seems an unfamily thing to do!

Kangaroo is a very popular meat here. I tend to buy kangaroo sausages more then beef etc. They have the interesting name of Kanga-banga.

Kangaroo meat is very low in cholesterol and extremely lean. It can take strong sauces and is very pleasant. It does have a habit of hopping of the plate though

Koalas are more my taste.
Excellent on the BBQ
