Thanksgiving Dinner

[LEMHEAD16]

My thanksgiving wouldn't be complete without this



It amazes me that it comes out looking just like the can. I like to mix it with my second helping of mashed taters.

How many people is everyone expecting? I'll have 22 adults and 14 children under 8 and a bottle of Gentleman Jack.

Becky if I send you a self-addressed stamped box can you mail me some leftovers?!

Sounds delicious!

That would be awesome if I could. I'm trying to figure out how to ship a plate to Hunter at Fort Bragg as well.

Appetizer, main course, and desert.

First dish is complete. Wish I didn't have class tomorrow, I'd keep cooking through the night.

I would cancel Thanksgiving dinner before I'd put a can of that glop on our table. Yuck.

I don't care how terrible it looks, it's delicious. I keep a can in the fridge and once and a while I just open the can and eat the whole thing. I then put another can in the fridge for the next time I want one. I tried eating it at room temperature and it's terrible. And besides after 3 months in the fridge the thing is cold all the way to the core. Delicious.

Do I look like a guy who cares what other people think?

This Thanksgiving is kind of a sad one for me though. My grandparents have moved into a nursing home. Of my 29 years I've had 29 Thanksgivings at their farm. It's going to be weird to be at my brother in law's house. My sister in law is a good cook and I enjoy going there, but I can't help but feel like something is missing from Thanksgiving this year.

My mom has been gone for 6 years, my dad for four. I miss them a lot this time of year. I make all of my mom's recipes to keep her close.

Mad left his bird out in the rain. The BBQ is loaded with smoldering bricks and battened down to keep the rain that's falling right now out. Mother nature is a b****!

The girls decorated the house for me. Table cloths, centerpieces, knick knacks, candles, etc.

After the clean-up. Check out the backsplash . Greg got this for me and put it up last week. I love what it does for the look of the kitchen. (Kinda reminds me of diamond-plate.)
