Thanksgiving After Action Report.
 

Looking back it was a success only one of the 4 people invited showed up. The turkey was perfect, we did it on the grill "cuz it would not fit in the oven. The dressing was dry it is now soaking in the left over gravy.
No fights or whining. And the Packers won. Who could ask for a better day? From salad to apple pie the dinner was as good as it could be.

Please post your T-day stories here.

Went great Everyone showed up, the food was great and my friend brought a bottle of Jagermeister as a hostess gift, who could ask for more?

Our plans started out with immediate family only - Selene, three kids, and myself - but rapidly grew to become 11 in total. We therefore panicked, bought more food at the last minute, cooked like galley slaves, and ultimately ended up with four fewer guests than we'd understood we'd be having.

However, everything was *splendid*. We ate by the fireplace until we were fit to explode. Selene fell victim to turkey enzymes and wine, as witnessed by the pic below. When she awoke, we watched "Its a Wonderful Life" and ate dessert, topping our evening off with viewing of 80's music videos on VH1, and hot sex. Best Thanksgiving I'd had in years, actually.

Isn't she gonna kick your ass for posting a picture of her sleeping? even I know better than that

stayed at home by myself and ate rice.

maybe next year I'll find a place to volunteer at.

For inexplicable reasons our turkey didn't finish roasting till 8PM or so, so it was a late dinner.

My daughter decided all of a sudden she didn't like pumpkin pie, so we had cheesecake for dessert.

We used my late mother-in-law's Wedgwood china. I had basically assumed I would never be worthy to eat off of it, so I was a bit surprised to find the table set with it.

We got last minute invited to my aunt's house for yummy food, where the guys watched reruns of some drag racing show and cheered and hooted and hollered about that....while in the other room the "kids" (ok so the youngest one of us was 17) and women played a much louder and rowdier card game...I don't know the name of it, but it was based on word association...

It was horribly fun to play, and definitely someone needs to have a copy of it at the next cellar get together.

Cajun fried a 23 pound turkey(86 minutes)........smoked 2 chickens......5 lbs. of Texas fried potatoes......ate like a starved Beagle.....then went under the bed and took a nap(Like a full Beagle)
Ahhh....Thanksgiving is wonderful.....

... smoked two chickens ... did not inhale ... did not experience euphoric sensations...
