One of these days I'm going to find myself in a position to actually enjoy a thanksgiving dinner.

Maybe next year.

We'll be having it at her Aunt and Uncle's log cabin-style home overlooking Knob Creek. :smoke:

My favorite holiday of the year.  Mainly because I don't have to do shit.

Going over to SisDeMoney's house.  In exchange for free food and no clean up, I only have to keep the nieces occupied.  Uncle Jay Jay the human trampoline.

I do have to go see "Mama Mia!" on Friday, though.  The girls insisted :bleeding: What uncles do for love.

Thanks Yanks. Thanks. Oh wait, that doesn't work :S

Sounds like Princesca's late grandfather.  We were over there some years back watching one of the bowl games (Sun Bowl, I think) and he commented that "there were too many blacks on television these days".  At one point Princesca's dad asked him what he would do if he got to heaven and St. Peter was black, and he said "I guess I'd be screwed, on account of my dislike of the nigras."

Oh, also he was a pedophile. :)

But yeah.... after her grandma died and we were cleaning out their house we found all these photo albums he'd taken of little girls, in some cases in... provocative poses.  It was quite disturbing to say the least. :x

Multicultural Thanksgiving FTW  :cool:

Oh, and Princesca called her Swiss friend earlier to ask her if she's allergic to dogs, since her aunt and uncle have one.  Her response "No.  What I am allergic to is bigotry and intolerance."

Thanksgiving dinner went: well.  Nobody said any racist shit around the Swiss chick.  If this had been Princesca's dad's family and her grandfather was still alive, there most certainly would have been racial slurs, since nearly every other sentence he uttered included some racist epithet.

Also, she brought this bacon barley Swiss soup that KICKED ASS.  :cool:

The English chick didn't bring anything.  Rude Britons. :mad:  She looks like an older version of Brazen however. :bowler:

Isn't it awfully early to eat dinner, even Thanksgiving dinner?

It's only just 6pm on the east coast...

You normally eat something around noon, right?

Most people I know do Thanksgiving starting at noon or 1.  We got there around 12:30 and started eating roughly 1:15 (because my sister in law was, as usual, late).

I had to settle for turkey gravy... but it contained dumplings, so it was cool.

For dinner I had deep fried turkey with dressing, mashed taters, broccoli casserole, cranberry jam, that Swiss barley soup I mentioned earlier plus some Swiss bread she brought, corn pudding, grits casserole, and gravy with dumplings.

I was kinda mad tho because the other day Princesca's aunt and uncle shot a deer in their backyard and had gutted and butchered it, and have a shitload of venison in various forms... but didn't serve any.  :mad:

Got yelled at by Mom during game time for taking it too seriously with my 6 year old niece, so once the tears started, I had to take a dive in Candyland.

That's true, it annoys the hell out of me. Big meals shouldn't be eaten in the evening. There's no need to change that policy on holidays;

The turkey at the restaurant we went to yesterday wasn't bad.  But it was still Thanksgiving in a restaurant  <_<

Mom decided she would've been "too stressed" to do Thanksgiving and Christmas at her house and my sister in law decided her house was too small (it's not).  Our house really is too small to host everyone, so we went out for dinner.  So much for tradition.

Anywho, I almost had mom in tears when I announced that if they pull something like that next year, I'm boycotting the whole thing. 

Wife felt bad for me, so she's doing an entire Turkey dinner tomorrow just for me :wub:

Thanksgiving part 1 was at my Mom's.

Thanksgiving part 2 was at my Dad's.

Thanksgiving part 3 was at my girlfriend's family's house.

By the time I got to my girlfriend's, I was completely full, but I did the polite thing and continued to stuff my face.

Okay. Home again after a three days of drinking with the family. (Technically, we got back four hours ago, but I had to go to work as soon as I got back.)

Yi, again, I apologize for the drunk call on Wednesday, though it all worked out. (The pizza was wonderful, and consensus from the boys is that "he's pretty cool" and "knows what he's talking about".)

We had our traditional meal of: roasted turkey, sage stuffing, greenbean casserole, scalloped corn, scalloped oysters, mac n cheese, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes (though no marshmallows :mad:), gravy, cranberries (homemade, Ed; no canned shit for me), and rolls. Dessert included six pumpkin pies, apple pie, blueberry pie, cherry pie, toffee, and some kind of layered jello thing my sister's friend brought over.

Weight Watchers be damned this week. Next week will be spent living on the treadmill.  <_<

Talked to a guy owning a turkey shop here in Stockholm and he had quite a few expats coming through for their thanksgiving stuff. I was surprised however that he mentioned that quite a few englishmen not just americans were among them. Didnt know thanksgiving was bbig in the UK.
