Thanksgiving Traditions - Page 2

Ninja and my new DIL will be in town, my wife won't get home til around midnight Friday. Will have our Thanksgiving on Saturday night. Looks like the consensus for this year is a standing rib roast. Some au gratin potatoes, green beans and black-eyed peas (or, maybe butter peas) from this year's garden. My mom will contribute some of her homemade bread. Maybe sourdough rolls, maybe jalapeno cheese bread, maybe olive-rosemary, will leave it up to her! Thinking dessert will be key lime pie, maybe cherry pie, maybe brownies, maybe all of them!

Giving thanks, food, football, cigars and drink. Think that sums it up.

Bill86 · 11-18-2010, 07:07 PM

Oh ok I was going to say....2 times in one day is surely the worst thing possible besides a crave case of white castles.

Got ya the old lunch + dinner deal. Makes sense, quick and easy.

Hey! A bag or two of sliders were great at 2:30am when you're drunk and nothing else is open. Sadly, haven't been able to get them since I left NY.

When we do Thanksgiving at my brother's house, we smoke cigars and shoot clay birds from his deck. Always a great time.

Cheers,
G

Usually at the inlaws and they are Italian. Homemade raviolli, bracholli, meatballs...that is the first course..then the turkey and stuffing..then about 6 homemade pies..then I feel like I am gonna die.

You know you had a good Thanksgiving when your layed out on the couch and you feel like you are going to burst if you move too much and you can no longer hold a buzz because the alcohol just gets soaked up as soon as it hits your stomach.

In my family we refer to the fullness as "Wedding Full"

Bill86 · 11-18-2010, 07:41 PM

Luckily Nashville has many of 24 hour restaurants so I can get good food even when I'm piss drunk at 5am.

As for turkeyday it's easiest to go to honeybaked ham and get some damn tasty turkey and ham. Thats what we do every year.

That's a great idea. Some romantic time w/out the kids is just what the pastor would order.

Of course, that could add to the...
...oh never mind...

Peace of the Lord be with you.

My daughters birthday is the 27th, so we try to combine the holidays in to one venture. When she's older that wont be as possible but for now it's a great excuse for family to come to town.

My In-Laws who reside outside of Buffalo usually drive down for the week. Sadly this may be their last time to do so, as they are not getting any younger and with various health problems (both in their mid 70's).

My mother comes up from Arkansas as does my Step Dad. We usually have it at our house in Missouri.

Every year my mom makes the Turkey and I make a bourbon and brown sugar ham. The recipe is my own. My wife makes a big birthday and Thanksgiving cake.

My daughters request for her birthday is always the same: the family puts up the Christmas tree while we are all together.

So Thanksgiving for us becomes a multiple holiday celebration in the course of three days.

It's a grand time. My Father - In Law and I spent evenings and mornings on the porch with cigars, coffee or cigars and Sam Adams. My daughter works on sculptures with my mother in law and chooses the colors of her cake.

It's a lot like Thanksgiving from when I was a boy, a large family gathering, but we have scattered to the winds now.

Still, probably my favorite time of year.

My only real tradition is that I roast a duck, not a turkey.
