Already had our Thanksgiving up here in Canada. Roast Leg of Lamb. Yum!


Enjoy your Thanksgiving there south of the 49th and the kickoff to the long holiday season...

We'll be somewhere in Mississippi over T'Giving, on our way to Florida. Have cooked a turkey breast and it's currently frozen aujus. That alone will help with not runnng the fridge for a few days until we set up for more than single overnights! Will make fixings to go along with dinner.

It's pretty traditional American Thanksgiving here. My wife will make an incredible sausage stuffing, three or four pies, pumpkin bread, yams, potatoes, and green bean casserole. And now I am getting hungry.

Oh, yeah, cranberry sauce too. However, it's going to be out of a can. Everything else will be made from scratch. I am extremely blessed with a wife that is not only willing to cook, but is really good at it too.

For the most part we go with the traditional Turkey and fixin's. DW took over the sweet potato duty from MIL a couple years ago (thankfully!) and makes an absolutely incredible mashed sweet potato dish that is simply out of this world. A far sight better than the canned yams we used to get!

Cranberry sauce still comes from a can.

It's Christmas dinner that always gets my mouth watering though. FIL slow cooks a seasoned prime rib, and home-made-from-scratch creamed spinach and scalloped potatoes on the side. That's the meal I dream about every year. Turkey on Thanksgiving is still a very close second though. There's just nothing like falling asleep in front of a football game with a belly full of that yummy stuff!

Ha ha ha. Something every husband / father can relate to. However, as long as your wife is happy, it's all good.

A few years back Peg and I started a new Thanksgiving tradition-- We decided instead of the traditional Thanksgiving dinner, we would go camping and invite our sons and their families to a gathering at the campgrounds. The meal of hamburgers and hotdogs would be served. Oh and in place of Pumpkin pie Smores were assembled by the children. It was well received and this year will be the 4th. year.

I keep trying to convince the "outlaws" that's what we need to do, but to date, they haven't gone for it. I keep telling them it would be a nice change of scenery, and we can still do all the "traditional" dishes. But still, nothing.

This year, my dad and his wife will be at the deer lease the entire week of Thanksgiving, and DW and I and our son will go out and join them for a couple days (in our TT) after the "traditional" Thursday meal with her parents.

Back when my family first moved to TX, it was just the 4 of us. Extended family was all "back home". So most holidays instead of staying home and making a big meal, we went out to the lake and stayed in the trailer. We fished, had camp fires, sometimes we even hunted. Those were some of the best times of my life. I wish so much that my (current) family would embrace that tradition. We almost all have RVs of one kind or another, and we all have space for those who don't. On her side, there's only her brother who would have to find a bunk to crash in, so no problem there. To me it's just so much more meaningful to get out there and enjoy each other. Well, that and it's "comfortable" for me.

I still need my pie though, but I'll take a s'more on the side!!
