JillyBeanz Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Hope you all have a lovely day and a lovely Thanksgiving Dinner - just to let you all know that here, in the UK, I am at work and for my lunch I have a soggy sandwich, a yoghurt, an apple and a kiwi fruit. Pales into comparison really...........! Happy Thanksgiving All xxxxxx :kiss:
judygram Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Poor Jill, you bet I will be thinking of you when I chow down this evening on turkey, dressing, gravy, mashed potatoes, cranberry casserole, green beans, sweet potatoes, homemade rolls and other assorted sides, I am going to wash it down with some of that good ole southern iced tea and finish it off with some pumpkin pie and coffee, gosh I can hardly wait.B)
Joolesgreyuk Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Oh Jude, the Turkey dinner and homemade rolls etc sound wonderful but you can keep your iced tea lol and I'm not sure about the pumpkin pie (I'll take apple pie ;-))either. :laugh:<br><br>Post edited by: Joolesgreyuk, at: 2009/11/26 17:24
Luvparrots Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 This year my oldest daughter, Donna, is fixing the Thanksgiving dinner. A nice break for me!!!! The fids, Lily and I will be spending the night. Can't wait to have some time with my grandson, Gabriel! I shall truly enjoy myself!
judygram Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 My daughter is fixing the dinner this year as she has now for several years, its nice to have someone else do the hard work, my contribution is the rolls as she hasn't quite mastered that yet. I will be spending the evening with all 3 of my grandkids today, the whole family will be together except for my hubby who is in Arizona on a hunting trip.
katana600 Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Just so our international members don't fantasize about the jolly times and good food, I am having a non-traditional Thanksgiving for the first time ever. My girls are home for a short break, one of them is injured and has had me being a chauffeur back and forth to college, close to a hundred mile, round trip every day. That combined with doctor appts, vet appts, an extra dog in the house for a visit and just plain having fun with a new baby we have opted to go to a turkey buffet this afternoon.
judygram Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Good for you Dee, I have thought of that myself and for you this year with what you have to deal with it fits, the only thing that is important is that the family is together and enjoying each other's company. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
JillyBeanz Posted November 27, 2009 Author Posted November 27, 2009 Glad you are all going to have a fab time - my soggy sandwiches were lovely thanx for asking!!!! Judy - your whole shabang sounds yummy - but being a veggie I'd have to replace the turkey with a nut roast!!!! Dee - being a mother never stops - the turkey buffet sounds delightful!! Janet - put that baby down!!!! Enjoy whatever you are doing all of you - been thinking of you all today :kiss: :kiss:
katana600 Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 A nut roast for vegetarians? And Jill to be the honored nut? Now that is a picture. We struck out to find a turkey buffet... four hours later settled for an alternative, LOL. You can bet my family will campaign for mom to get back to the kitchen next year. Had to beat poor ole Jill's soggy sandwich though. Jill, you need to fire your cook. Hmmm... come to think of it, maybe that is what happened at our house this year. LOL.
judygram Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 No turkey buffets Dee, what a bummer, we have places here where people can go and get a traditional Thanksgiving dinner but you all were together so thats what matters most.
kittykittykitty Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 It's Sunday evening here, so most have forgotten there even was a Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful day. Six of us there were vegetarians. We had potato pie with a nut protein in it. Delicious! It was my grand-daughter's birthday so not only were there pies there was her favorite chocolate cake and homemade icecream. Of course I over ate! :ohmy: :lol:
JillyBeanz Posted November 30, 2009 Author Posted November 30, 2009 At last - support!!!! I'll start a "Vegetarians R Us" thread and not let these meat eaters join!!! :laugh: Glad you had a great day - mmmmm chocolate cake!!!
Luvparrots Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend!
katana600 Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 It was fabulous to have the whole family together once again. This is the first time for both our girls to be home to meet Juno. They are disappointed he didn't make fast friends, but he is still getting acclimated and was fun with them, just not affectionate as he has gotten to be with mom and dad.
