âThe timing is perfect because next week is Thanksgiving,â host Ainsley Earhardt told Army 1st Lt. Clint Lorance.
âFox & Friendsâ Hosts Gush Over Convicted War Criminal Pardoned By Trump
Meh. I am now in land of October Thanksgiving. So probably just another day for me unless we see a nice place offering usain turkey day food.
Cakeday is Monday of that week for me this year and I will be celebrating that by an excursion of some sort. As it is possible to take a bus to the ferry and then another bus to Victoria I am pondering getting up early and having high tea at The Empress and just poking around for the day before heading back.
Iâm in the opposite situation, this will be my first usian thanksgiving and Iâve been researching meal ideas for a Texan thanksgiving feast.
I was just looking for someplace to post the âThanksgiving is for celebrating war crimesâ quote
So wrong, except completely right, except not how they think theyâre right, at all
I may have already mentioned this last time, but:
Thanksgiving movie, very different from the norm. Highly recommended. Patricia Clarkson rocks.
Awesome soundtrack, too:
Donât forget to stop by Rogerâs Chocolates to pick up some treats for home.
Back when I was a stock broker â international duty charges and shipping wasnât cheap â I used to send boxes of their stuff to clients. I was their best friend every December!
Somehow over the years my household has become the defacto Thankgsiving Dinner house for our circle of friends, and somehow that dinner has been extended to include these staples:
⢠Turkey (dry-brined, per Kenji)
⢠Dressing (Stove Top, per tradition)
⢠Green bean casserole
⢠Mashed potatoes, gravy
⢠A big pot of bigos
⢠Golabki, which are delicious but rarely eaten
Wot? No canned cranberry sauce, the one thing my brother will eat only if the ridges from the can are still visible?
No kidding.
Usually I look at the Threadgillâs menu because itâs so very very Texan; itâs pretty much all there for you.

ETA: my mate says Threadgillâs downtown closed last year, but the north Threadgillâs (the original location, in the converted gas station), is still open.
The nice thing about being the âestranged relative who lives 3000 miles awayâ is that I donât have to endure any awkward and stressful holiday family get-togethers.
Every year, I have good food with people that I actually like and want to be around, and for that I am most thankful.
BBQ can happen anytime, here. Thereâs deep frying, but thatâs dangerous if youâre a rookie. Also, thereâs always tacos!
For LGBT people who donât have accepting family - or are just alone in the world- the Philadelphia LGBT center welcomes you on Thanksgiving. Your local org probably does something too.

Good call, I forgot â we always do cranberry sauce both ways, a bowl of delicious homemade cranberry-orange sauce with walnuts, and a dish of the ridged canned stuff for the one or two people for whom itâs apparently a nostalgic thing.
Maybe itâs nostalgia, but I will say one thing for the ridged stuff, you know what youâre getting. Homemade can definitely be much better, but sadly Iâve had worse.
And I canât help but be amused by a âfoodâ which retains the shape of the can.
Itâs always a turkey breast for me - a full bird is just too much. Going for smoked this year for the first time.
The usual sides- stuffing with chicken sage sausage is my fav.
Having grown up eating canned bread, I am in no position to mock anyone who likes cranberry sauce in the shape of a can.
How was that stuff? And how long will it store for?
It lasts forever on a shelf; I actually still enjoy it â itâs a dark brown bread (with or without raisins) thatâs very m-o-i-s-t and tastes strongly of molasses with a nice bit of sweetness. Great with baked beans or just with butter. My sister likes to put ice cream on it.
