This Thanksgiving.........

[Out of Order]

I have a lot to be thankful for. I will therefore fill my tub with gravy to share with all of you fine people. I shall go and polish my ladle (quiet you dirty birdies) so it is all nice and shiny for the festivities.........

Ah gravy..........

Bah Humbug! It’s a stressful time for me... decisions, decisions. Is it called Stuffing or Filling? Do I serve cranberry sauce or cranberry jelly? Do I roast the turkey or deep fry it? How do I tell someone not to bring a particular dish because everybody hates it, and I don’t have to strategically remove a portion and throw it in the garbage so it looks like someone actually ate it? What wines do I get this year? Why, after all these years, do people keep bringing dishes that need to be warmed in the oven when you know the oven is being used for other things? Why don’t I just run off to Tahiti?

 

[EMARX]

If the tub is full of gravy, where the hell are you putting the spuds??

And yes, gravy is the nectar of the gods.

My advice to you is to start drinking heavily........and get plenty gravy..........

Your tub free?

Calm down and take a deep breath......Sunny is here to help you.

Is it called Stuffing or Filling? Neither. It's called Dressing
Do I serve cranberry sauce or cranberry jelly? Cranberry Sauce
Do I roast the turkey or deep fry it? Deep Fry
How do I tell someone not to bring a particular dish because everybody hates it, and I don’t have to strategically remove a portion and throw it in the garbage so it looks like someone actually ate it? Specify a dish you want them to bring
What wines do I get this year? All of them.
Why, after all these years, do people keep bringing dishes that need to be warmed in the oven when you know the oven is being used for other things? Because you haven't specifically told them not to
Why don’t I just run off to Tahiti? Because you secretly enjoy all the chaos and confusion......

I don't like gravy........

You don’t like gravy? Sacrilege! Why then, would I listen to anything a heathen has to say?

(And who in their right mind would call it "Dressing?" )

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????? This saddens me beyond reason.......

Don't be sad.......I don't like much of the traditional Thanksgiving day feast.

 

[Out of Order]

Sunny must call gravy sauce or something.........what does she put on her potaters?

 

[Sundrop]

Because I've just solved your entire dilemma in less than one minute, and it didn't cost you anything.......yet

(And who in their right mind would call it "Dressing?" )

Trust me, you "dress" the turkey......only northerners call it stuffing, and I've never heard it called filling.

Butter and salt

Whenever we make gravy at Thanksgiving, my wife’s aunt always waits until no one is looking, then takes all the turkey fat drippings and pours it to the gravy. No regard if people don’t wish to have strange chunks of semi-meat in their gravy. I must admit though, the gravy tastes sooo much better, but my arteries are hardening just thinking about it.

Yes, I dress mine so he feels comfortable. He's a Levis guy.

I'm afraid of the "yet."

Trust me, you "dress" the turkey......only northerners call it stuffing, and I've never heard it called filling.

If you "dress" something, it means putting something on the outside. You either stuff or fill the turkey. You southerners are strange birds at times.

[cat in a bag]

I call it dressing, too.

And turkey drippings are a must for the gravy, EMARX! I have never heard of someone having to sneak it into the gravy. That gave me a chuckle.

I will now share my favorite Thanksgiving memory about my Grandma on my Dad's side. Her gravy never had even a suggestion of a lump. I just sighed every time I made gravy and it didn't look like Grandma's.

Well, one Thanksgiving, we were setting the table while Grandma finished up the gravy. I walk into the kitchen and what do I see? My grandma, straining the lumps out of her gravy! I said, Grandma! That is how you get perfect gravy???

I can still hear her laughter at that.

One of my most precious memories.

What do you do with the giblets?

We don't fill the turkey with anything......we place the dressing around the turkey, so it looks all nice and pretty.

What do you do with the giblets?

I think my Mom uses them to make the gravy......I just can't bring myself to eat it.

She also cuts up the heart and liver, and uses them in the dressing.
