Thanksgiving

I'd like to start a thread about what you are thankful for and what is your favorite dish on Thanksgiving.

My favorite Thanksgiving dish has to be sausage stuffing. Whilst I
butter up the Butterball and coat it with salt, pepper, garlic
powder, onion powder, thyme and sage, Paulina spends most of the
morning cutting and chopping onions, celery, and frying up spicy
sausage into hamburger chunks, and then, using only Pepperidge Farm,
the best! It is extremely moist and fluffy when it comes out, it's a
double helping of joy, with a real kick.

I am thankful for a lot of things.

I'm thankful for faithful, loyal family and friends like all of you,
the kind who stick with me thru thick and thin. That's the test of
real friendship. Those of you support me with your uplifting words.
Your encouragement is priceless, and it led me to be the chair of a
5k race, on this New Years Day, the 5K Resolution Run. But most of
all, I'm thankful for my freedom from terrorism and tyranny.

When I was growing up, my aunt and uncle came over from Russia. They
were fed up with false promise of Communism, and they were feisty as
all getout. They took in friends and only asked for their friendship
and loyalty in return, perhaps doing odd jobs around the apartments
to make it until they got a job. My uncle would take me on cold
Thanksgiving mornings to the farmers market where I would get
friendly slaps on the back from the farmers, and they would hand me
their doughnuts and share their coffee, coffee so dark that would
layer up in curls of creamy steam over the cup.

When I wasn't pouncing up and down on them, I would use the produce
scales to help load potatoes into wooden crates, and assist them with
a heave into my uncles flatbed, and then I would point out different
truck types to my uncle around the frosty yard. When we got home
from delivering the vegetables, and my uncle having saved the best
samples for our own family, my aunt, grandmother, and mother, God
bless their troubled souls, would let me nibble on potato pancakes
before the turkey was ready. I would tear off turkey wings and share
them with my cat, and they would even let me sample some Mogan David
wine at dinner.

May God's blessing rest on each and every one of you this holiday
season.

 

I am thankful for you, Don, and your wonderful childlike spirit in all things. Thanks for being a wonderful friend!

My favorite Thanksgiving dish is my Grandmother's Cheesecake.

I'm thankful for many more things too (ie, my husband, our child Will, the Beatles, Darth Vader...), and I could go on forever...but I'll just say how glad I am that we live in a country that gives us the freedom to do all that we do, and live the way we want to. I love you guys!

I am most thankful for my wonderful friends and family without whom I would be a lost soul.

My favorite Thanksgiving dish is TURKEY!!
I also love cranberry sauce ..not the homemade kind .. the gel kind in the can.

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.

 

I like the gel kind in a can too! My husband thinks I'm so wierd for liking that stuff!

 

This is a little late, but here it goes...

I am thankful for my family, friends, health, and my two dogs.

My favorite Thanksgiving dish is turkey dressing. My favorite Thanksgiving dessert is my grandmother's caramel cake.

And yes, I had way too much of both on Thanksgiving day.

 

Another thing I'm thankful for is our awesome Minacia.
