happy thanksgiving

i hope everyone out there is having a great thanksgiving holiday.
this year we went small, only 25 or so guests. that's immediate family. small by dinner standards, but still active enough to keep everyone engaged.
frying a turkey, smoking a ham, and my sis-in-law is bringing a "traditional" roasted turkey. i think i've finally figured it out. none of the women liked the smoked turkey i've done over the years. the men all loved the hell out of them, but it must have been a stretch for the women, having to deal with a fried turkey and a smoked turkey. i can hear the conversations now. "we have to figure out how to get a regular turkey. i can't stand that smoked thing". " i know, just tell him ____________ will be heartbroken if she can't do something." (fill in name of sacraficial victim, to be determined by drawing straws). "he'll think we're just trying to help" "yeah. i hope he never finds out how much we hate that smoked turkey. it would hurt his feelings".

hahahaha. goofy shit you think about when you get up to finish the cleaning and prep work.

hey everyone....... "Happy Thanksgiving!"
