Glad you had such a great Thanksgiving!

David and I had a wonderful meal. I spent the day cooking and doing dishes
which is my idea of happiness, he practiced his guitar, and the dogs ate
scraps and played together.

Dinner was lovely, we ate too much and we have too much cranberry sauce and
roasted root vegetables. The dogs got their special canned food and Frosty
Paws and I think it's a happy day all around in this newly formed household.

Did you have your Frosty Paws today? :-)

Our five cats had enough chopped turkey to put them asleep for the rest of
the day and evening, and I mean *sound* asleep. They only get fresh
turkey once or twice a year, so they get all they want. After dinner our
new puppy managed to steal a turkey wing and had eaten all the skin and
meat off of it before we caught her, just in time to keep her from also
eating the bone. Not a good thing for puppies.

A good day was had by all!

Well, it was an interesting Thanksgiving. I got home last night from
my mom's house, where I visited for 5 days following her back surgery
(she's doing much better now, but her meds made her nauseous for a
full week). Found out that my husband had bought a turkey breast and
some veggies, wanting a quiet Thanksgiving day at home instead of
going to his brother's house.

We were pretty well supplied, but we kept it simple: just the roast
turkey breast, James Beard's stuffing (mmm.....butter!), green beans,
pan-browned brussels sprouts, homemade applesauce, and apple pie with
fresh whipped cream.

So this was not a tricky meal to cook, but the challenge was getting
it all made considering that we weren't home half the day. We (hubby,
3 kids, me) walked up to a nearby school to play a morning game of
kickball with some other neighborhood families. After that, I snuck
home and cooked for a while (made the pie and applesauce, and prepped
the stuffing). Then we went to a neighbor's house to bounce on their
trampoline for a while. Came home, dumped exhausted toddler into crib
for a nap, resumed cooking.

At dinner, my husband turned to me and said happily, "This is the best
Thanksgiving dinner I've ever had." He really liked the stuffing,
Carol - thanks! And he ate two pieces of pie, ugly crust and all.

Hope everyone's day was fun as well as tasty!
Chris

I *swear* ugly crust pies are the best. This year We did frozen pies and
they looked perfect... Gads, no one ate them. All is well though, we had
Bomb Pops in the freezer. 2 boxes. They have the Splenda stuff in them and
were a huge hit. Screw my whipped cream which I was NOT going to do and
bought frozen thankyouverymuch.

I mean seriously, I'm thinking of just opening the kitchen up and letting
them go after it next year. Some are on this diet or that, others want
this or that. Atkins Diet seems to be the theme this year.

We made the turkey and ham with all the sides. I don't even know what
people ate. Different people took different leftovers. All I know is, the
damned sink and disposal went out. Thankfully it was afterwards.

Michael <- 4am and living it all down

I worked Wednesday night and I was expecting my hubby to go get all the
stuff for Thanksgiving when he got off of work. He called me while I was at
work saying he was stuck in a major traffic jam. He called me a couple of
hours later to tell me that the car broke down and he was stuck on the
freeway. There was nothing *I* could do to help him and I don't have a car
anyway. This is our sole vehicle.

A few hours later a towtruck was called and he got home around 10:30 pm.
(He leaves for work around 5:30 am. It was a long day for him.)

Turkey day morning, the car started and he went to go get groceries. He had
to go out twice.

(We ended up smoking a turkey on our WSM and the side dishes were, green
bean casserole, cornbread stuffing, kale greens, roasted garlic mashed
potatoes (I used 5 heads of garlic), cranberry sauce and steamed asparagus.
No dessert, the hubby and I never eat that stuff.)

Anyway, our beloved 1984 Toyota Pickup truck with almost 300,000 miles on it
is just about dead and I have no idea what we're gonna do. I *wish* the
only problem we had was a garbage disposal, but, heck! We don't even have a
garbage disposal! LOL. I have to laugh, what else can you do?

I hope you and Crash had a good one. We did although I was stressed with
the bird and ham. I have to thank Steven on this. He was a doll. He saw my
stress and took it over. It went well considering the different theme
diets of the guests.

I liked the babies the best. The kids are the greatest. I love the babies
at holiday time I just adore 'em.

About 3 years ago our beloved 1985 Chevrolet crew-cab (4 door) needed some

My dog Sampson (RB) got hold of a ham bone once (actually, I think my

8 lbs at the time, but try to get that bone away from him. You'd have
thought he was a Rottweiler! "GRRRRRRR, NO, MY BONE!" For a small dog he
had huge teeth. He knew how to use them, too.

I have no idea what a Toyota pickup costs these days. Probably a lot. We
hate spending money on a new vehicle. I just hate it buying a new one, I
literally get physically ill. Seriously, I got sick and puked, right there
on the showroom floor. We always pay for vehicles with cash, no
financing. I remember the idiots at the dealership were completely
dumbfounded with a cash purchase and my sickness. I just see the final
bill and gag. Spending that much cash is sickening but financing would be
worse.

I brought that up to my hubby today and he said it's not worth it. The body
of the truck is so rusted out. We're going to have to get a new vehicle,
but we can't pull it out of the tub drain. (Was gonna use a body part, but
this is a family forum, after all.) When and if we do get another vehicle,
it's just going to be weird, you know? This was the truck we had when we
fell in love....... sigh. Oh, the memories!

We've got to keep it going as long as we can, Michael. We don't have any

One of my dogs got a bone from the rack of lamb I made one night. Everyone

seconds and I made David fight it away from him.

you must, but then pay it off as quickly as possible. Used cars are just

Speaking of cars and towing, I heard something silly on the radio this
morning on my way home from work... Some guy in San Antonio towed a
5,000 lb. truck across a parking lot

with his penis.

He belongs to something called "Order of the Iron Crotch" and it's
actually quite real. I even Googled it:

Yeah, but where are we gonna get the $2000 FROM? That's the stickler. If
we had $2000, we'd buy another vehicle. We don't have credit cards, heck,
we don't even have a checking account. We live paycheck to paycheck and
we're still paying child support for Allan's kid. It's pretty slim around
here. BUT, we're as happy as a groundhog who hasn't been displaced in Feb.
How's that for a Suthern'-ism? <g>

Speaking of cars and towing, I heard something silly on the radio this
morning on my way home from work... Some guy in San Antonio towed a
5,000 lb. truck across a parking lot

with his penis.

He belongs to something called "Order of the Iron Crotch" and it's
actually quite real. I even Googled it:

My my my my my!!!!!! ;-)

Okay, although I think my husband's penis is amazing, it's not *that*
amazing. Um, how do you explain to your kids just *what* you do for a
living???
