Happy Thanksgiving, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Sven the First, and Fatwa!
I’m thankful that I’ve met the lot of y’all, both here and IRL. You truly are a wonderful group of people.
Heard from Teh Younger last night. He’s hosting Thanksgiving dinner for those of his search and rescue team that are staying on campus. Yesterday he told the person in charge of the turkey to plan for 13 people. As of last night it was 18.
Yep, pretty much. The roasted root veggies are done and the dressing/stuffing has been made. The turkey will go in the oven in a couple of hours. Beverages are chilling. Although Mrs. Paddy asked where the Harvest Salad mix from Trader Joe’s was. I told her it was wherever she put it. That began the “I told you to pick it up”, “No, you didn’t” discussion. She’s now out looking for a market that’s open.
Mmmmmmmm, spaghetti ! I had that the last two days.
Tonight is turkey, then turkey sandwiches for days. Even bought white bread for that purpose. Most of the family likes dark meat, so more white meat for us.
Happy Thanksgiving EveryGerbillyBody! May there be plenty of Triptophan naps to be had this long weekend!
I am truly grateful to call y’all my family -- ‘cuz that’s what you are.
*mwah!*
(I know this pic scares Jerrie, but I can’t help myself, and it *IS* what family does …)
Heh. I’m thankful that I’m the FIRST to post a message on Thanksgiving! Take that, Fatwa!
Happy Thanksgiving, GN!
Just saw that; you were up virtuously early for a holiday, sir.
Happy Thanksgiving, Gerbil Nation!
I’m sure grateful for having met all of you…especially LambiePieK.
Hope that the lot o’ ye -- and yours -- have a terrific day. May your turkeys be moist and your pecan pies not molten. 😉

Hai, Sven and Paddy!
Paddy --
Hope you’ve got your menu and food prep schedule sorted out. 😉

Ugh. Sad for Mrs. Paddy.
Tell you what…it’s a lot of cleaning on Thanksgiving Day.
I’m working on the pasta, cuz nothing says Thanksgiving like a big plate of spaghetti.
So long as it’s a big plate, I see nothing whatsoever wrong with spaghetti on Thanksgiving.

Hey, Mac!
I lurve me some turkey sammiches; they’re one of the few proper uses for mayonnaise. (Along with chicken salad, tuna salad and BLTs.)
Brenda likes mayo with her french fries; I think she’s a crypto-Belgian.
Naughty! Brave, but naughty.
I like mayo on other sandwiches and hamburgers, too.
Turkey sandwiches with mayo, lettuce, tomato, salt and pepper is food of the gods.
Off to the family home. Still undecided how to handle the insulin shot but I suppose it will work out. A minor annoyance at worse. I am lucky.
