Oh yeah, almost forgot...I think they'd (my parents) mix in some pork sausage in the stuffing. Maybe that's what I've been forgetting?

....Cowboy, have you been saddened by the loss of an antlered quadreped?.....
...Both Tracy and I have to work on Turkeyday...so since we're both off Saturday looks like we flip the bird-so to speak-that day, she'll mechanize and be a whirling dervish in the kitchen, I'll get underfoot and be yelled at(another holiday/daily tradition), family and friends will bring food and we shall grub most heartily...the sharing will be leavened by a the bittersweet fact that my warrior to be will still be at bootcamp-and not home...first of many Thanksgivings without him...but I will say a prayer and thanks for being blessed with such a good child...
Good vibes and shield of protection for your son, Scott. Will he be home for Christmas?
It will be hard. But just be proud. Its always harder than day for our soldiers than for us.Be thinking of your family that day. Happy thanksgiving to you all.
...yes honey...he is supposed to be with us after December 20th for a few days...it's going to be a rough one, because there has been a ton of drama related to his personal life while he was away-we had to step in, and now he seems to have cut us off from all communication after only hearing one side of the story...Tracy and I are just prayerful we'll get it settled...we certainly don't want a rift due to the selfishness and manipulation of others...
(((Scott))) know Iam praying for your family.
Will hold your family in unifying vibes. No rifts, only calm. understanding and unity.
Ooooo Lobster (we call it crayfish)...thats a bit fancy! We generally speaking, consider Turkey one of the traditional meats...but more so Ham...and any roast really.This year we are having Turkey though and I'm quite looking forward to it, its been years since I tasted it. Kinda freaks me out how it looks like a giant chicken, when I see it in the shop.
Around here, crayfish are usually found in fresh water and lobster in salt water and there's generally a big difference in the size and taste. My partner and I aren't particularly fond of ham so we wouldn't be having it even if it was traditional for Christmas. If I do decide on lobster, it will be as a lobster pie not lobster in the shell which is not at all fancy for us.
Marsha, when mom was a young girl going to school she would be ashamed of taking a lobster sandwich to school cause she considered it poor fare. I guess folks who grew up by the sea have different ideas of what's fancy eh.
That was true for a long time--lobster was considered a poor man's food because it was so plentiful.
I've never tried Turkey, I'd like to though... and I don't eat crayfish. (or any seafood)
Our crayfish are salt water, M--but are far smaller than your lobster I think. (I think we may have a fresh water cray too though?)

Typical: turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberries, green bean casserole (homemade, thank you--no canned soup!), disgusting candied yams (love yams, hate the 'candied' part), pies, rolls...
Since my dad and brother died, mom can't face doing it, so we've hosted here for the last four years or so.
KFF, how is your eye? I'm usually offline from Thursday night to Mon night, so if you've answered this elsewhere, my apologies for attacking an expired equine (if that's the case)
I dont eat Cray's either but at $60 each approx @Moderator you'd be put in the pie yourself for doing that to it! Its considered very fancy here. Funny, for an island.
Anywho other than my strange child who loves the legs (ever look at your beloved kids and wonder where they came from-not in a literal sense...that much, I know) none of us eat it.

My request for cranberry sauce or jelly or whatever it is has been approved! Now onto the dressing request...diets? Who needs diets!
