Paul Hill Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Curiosity question.... How many on here are enjoying the Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend? I know I know...lots of turkeys here! There seems to be a large number of Canadians on this forum but how big of a percentage are we? Happy Thanksgiving!
xcarguy Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Paul, Today, here in south Arkansas, I will eat turkey (actually, ham) and dressing in honor of all my neighbors to the north. Yes, I'm having ham and dressing for lunch today. Shane
XR4Bill Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Turkeys going in the oven very soon. Happy thanksgiving. Bill
Paul Hill Posted October 12, 2014 Author Posted October 12, 2014 In the course of getting old (will be 62 in a week) and crotchety I have somehow developed a severe aversion to the aroma of cooking turkey, to the point that it nauseates me. Love to eat it still though, just can't handle the smell of it cooking. So, for years now, we cook them out on the back porch in a portable electric oven. We will be feeding 20+ at lunch tomorrow...7 kids, some with spouses, inlaws, and assorted other freeloaders. So 1 stuffed Butterball cooked overnight last night, another cooking as I write. The spuds will get peeled, turnips diced, pies cooked at our leisure today. Makes tomorrow lunch a little more relaxed with a bit of advanced planning.
Z3 Stalker Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 We had our Thanksgiving Dinner last night. Hope everyone enjoys theirs as mush as I did mine:)
raceral Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 We are cooking turkey today in preparation for the hungry people tomorrow. Thanksgiving also serves a dual purpose as our youngest kid, the baby of the family, who also has 4 of her own babies turns '40'. Eeeeghads, starting to feel old, still wish I was 62.:smilielol5: Al
BusaNostra Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Ours is coming, I always deep fry my turkey --- Happy Thanksgiving to our northern neighbor !
Paul Hill Posted October 13, 2014 Author Posted October 13, 2014 Busa..... So the turkey in your pic was a roaring success I see!
lancylad Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Just had our first one, having another one tomorrow. No cooking for us, ain't kids wonderful. I'm stuffed! Happy thanks giving every one.
scannon Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Happy Thanksgiving to all our northern friends. Peace and plenty to you all.
xcarguy Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Paul, Today, here in south Arkansas, I will eat turkey (actually, ham) and dressing in honor of all my neighbors to the north. Yes, I'm having ham and dressing for lunch today. Shane Performed as stated. Just as I, I hope you guys gained a few well deserved pounds this weekend. :cheers:
Jackal Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) Thanks for all the well wishing!! Great lot of you here!! I had my ham and turkey on Saturday and am working on the soups today. MMMmmmm split pea and ham. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in Canada, and we'll revisit the topic in a month and a bit. For now though, Happy Columbus Day!! Edited October 13, 2014 by Jackal
Paul Hill Posted October 13, 2014 Author Posted October 13, 2014 Shane and all who did NOT have turkey today.... Well guys, it was tough but I FORCED myself to eat enough for all of you who missed out today! Seriously, we had an almost perfect day... All 7 kids made it home for our "lunch" meal, some from as much as 3 hr away. Rosemarie's folks... in their 80s...arrived by train Saturday, will catch a noon train back to Hamilton tomorrow. Our 1st (and so far only) grandchild, 10 months old, entertained with his almost crawling routine. Weather was perfect, mid 60s and sunny. And full bellies all around. Can it get any better???
