loviechick Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 I'm just curious what everyone is doing for Thanksgiving? I'm going to Hawaii!!!!!:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: And actually I'm trying to see if I can meet up with Makena, not sure yet but I'm gonna try! I'll be there for 2 weeks I am so jazzed! I'll be staying in Kaneohe which is a Marine Corps base on Oahu. My best friend's husband(my cousin) is stationed there in the Navy, I 'll come back and post tons of pics I'm sure! How about ya'll any plans?
siobha9 Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 No plans. We don't do Thanksgiving here. When is it? Siobhan
Laurie Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 Thanksgiving is next Thursday. My mother-in-law has her Thanksgiving dinner on every year at noon (the poor woman starts cooking at 5:00 am - yikes!). So we always go over there, then watch the football game. I'm just thrilled to have a 4-day weekend coming up!
judygram Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 I am going to my daughters for Thanksgiving, she is doing the turkey and I will contribute some side dishes. I don't watch football games, I will probably scour the newspaper for early morning bargains for shopping on Black Friday, last year some stores opened at 5 am. I love a 4-day weekend too.
dblhelix Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 We will be cooking turkey and fixins at our place. Gonna give deep fat frying a try...done lots of research on the proper/best techniques. Bought a nice deep fat fyer! Should be fun, provided I dont suffer 3rd degree burns or burn the place to the ground...like most things, seems with proper care and preparation risk is minimal. I hear turkey comes out AWESOME with this cooking method. Will let you know how it goes!
judygram Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 Yes please be careful with that method, Mark, it can be dangerous if you don't heed the precautions, but I hear the turkey is delicious cooked that way, have never tried it but be sure to let us know how it turns out.
Talon Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 Sounds yummy Mark! Let us know how it comes out. I too, have heard that the turkey is delicious cooked that way. Most of my family comes to my house for Thanksgiving dinner. So I get stuck doing just about everything, but the kids enjoy having the family around, so it's worth it. Judy, you are crazy to shop the day after Thanksgiving, standing in line for hours just to save money? Not me, I'd rather pay more than fight those crowds! :pinch:
judygram Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 You calling me crazy, woman, I have fun doing that, I go with my daughter and I think her girlfriend is coming along too, we have lots of fun just sharing each other's company.:laugh:
Talon Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 I'm happy for you Judy! If I lived closer, it would be you and me shopping until we dropped, or at least gossiping until we dropped!! :P
judygram Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 Whichever comes first, hey thats a great idea, maybe next year we could do just that, make a day of it, some shopping, gossiping, some eating, more gossiping, take in a movie, more gossiping and maybe some more gossiping in between the gossiping, whatcha think!!!!!!
Talon Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 I think it sounds like great fun! Anyone else like to join us??<br><br>Post edited by: Talon, at: 2007/11/17 04:20
Makena Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 I would be there if I wasn't so far away!!! We are doing Thanksgiving at our house but not on Thursday. Andrew has to work, so I think we are doing it this Monday :ohmy:!! We have a bunch of friends coming over so it should be a lot of fun! This is Andrew's first year ever of not doing Thanksgiving with his family and he is really bummed about it. I am cooking everything like his mom does to make it special for him :kiss: :kiss: :kiss:
judygram Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 Thats too bad that you two are so far away that you cannot spend the holiday with family, but hey you take lemons and make lemonade, right!!!! Thats really sweet of you Kristin, to fix all his Mom's favorite dishes for your Thanksgiving dinner, that is true love if ever I have seen it, and I hope you have a wonderful dinner with friends even if it isn't on Thursday. Have a wonderful holiday, Kristin and Andrew.
danmcq Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 Having Thanksgiving at our house with Sons, in-laws and outlaws all coming over. I will need to apply MrSpocks..."Remove the Grey and Place back on Stand technique" :-)
Makena Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 On a side note, I realized today my roasting pan was non stick so I went to Macy's and bought a stainless one. The things I do for that bird... LOL... I do like my new pan though :P :P
siobha9 Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Yes but arent our Greys a great excuse to shop though? Really honey I needed it because of the bird....:laugh:
Makena Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 LOL so true!!! I can get away with anything if I say it is because of the bird!!! I think I have almost talked my way into hardwood floors!! Back to topic...
