I can't get excited about Thanksgiving at all because my company only allows for Thursday off. With my work hours that's pretty much no time off.

Thanksgiving Meal prep
Smallish dinner for us, just the Mrs. and me. Wife requires mashed taters and dressing. So aside from those, probably will just do turkey thighs and legs. We haven't done turkey at all in the past few years, I don't think. I might bake off some of those frozen roll dough balls.
She'll make a pumpkin pie. |

I hate my relatives, so my Thanksgivings and Christmases usually consist of me going out for Chinese food and catching a couple of movies.

Join the club. Although I am using some of my PTO to take Friday off this year. I have worked Thanksgiving before as well. Not cool.

Hmmmm, are you Jewish? I ask because of the Christmas thing you do. Seems to be a tradition.

Heading to my favorite golf course for a fantastic buffet. This will be 7 out of the last 9 years.
The food is fantastic and not your typical buffet. The pork loin is the best I've ever had and can't wait. the shrimp are giant size and peeled and deveined. Last year was with an ex-girlfriend, this year I will be solo at the bar. They also allow a take-home package for a small fee. THANKSGIVING BUFFET 12pm Seating •Chilled Shrimp •Mixed Field Green Salad •Sliced Dijon Crusted Pork Loin •Smoked Naturally Raised Turkey •Garlic Mashed Potatoes •Mashed Sweet Potatoes • Long Grain Wild Rice Pilaf •Home Made Ginger Cranberry Sauce •Sautéed French Green Beans with Shallots •Homemade Stuffing •Turkey Gravy •Assorted Fresh Fruit and Dessert Display •Fresh Brewed Coffee, Tea, and Juice Station Kids Fare Chicken Fingers, Mac & Cheese and Potato Barrels ![]() ![]() ![]()

I'm not hosting this year, and we're only having 9 people together for Thanksgiving this year, so I can pretty much go free form on what I want to make, or make nothing at all. As of now, I'm leaning towards making three items:

going to be the guest this year, instead of the host. driving down to georgia to spend the holiday w/my son(air force) and his family.
usually when we go there, the wife takes a load of her home made noodles, but she talked w/him the other night, and said they were doing a ham or a roast. i said those noodles would work fine w/either of those meat choices, but wtf...aint my home, and i'm a guest. i'll just buy a bunch of booze. expecting to have a great time, but noodles will make it better. sec

Bake mode is done. Will check convection tomorrow. So the lesson from this assignment is on average, my oven runs a little hot, about 15 degrees. So pretty good. The enlightening thing for me is how drastic the temperature waxes and wanes. I mean, I knew it would, but I didn't expect a 56-degree swing. |
