Not to change the subject, but has anyone tried these:

I like the Wasabi Ranch ones - maybe I could put some in my turkey dressing?

....wear a darker shirt, so it don't show no gravy stains......

Ah hell no, gravy stains on the shirt are the true sign of a native Arkansan. My old man can store a pint jar of gravy in his beard..lol

Since Thanksgiving is not a holiday here I do a family dinner on the Sunday. I used to whine about missing it. So I decided to do something about it. All the usual stuff. I even have pumpkin in the freezer from Halloween for the pie.

When I used to work on shift at the PD, if you ended up working the Thanksgiving holiday, which I usually did, I never saw a throw down meal like we'd have there. There were a couple of restaurants in our city, Village Inn for one, who would show up in a catering truck and bring no less than 30-35 fresh baked pies to the police department on Thanksgiving Day. Everyone who was working on shift would bring something also, and more often than not, the families of the guys and girls on shift would stop by to bring food, drinks, more pies, more turkey, etc. We usually had to use the training room and put 5 or 6 tables together to hold all the food. You could have fed a small army. Everyone would take turns relieving everyone else so you come come in, sit down and eat with your family if they wanted to come. We all made the best of having to work on a holiday and it was usually a lot of fun and everyone tried to make the best of not being able to be at home. That was a wonderful team to be a part of.

I feel very fortunate this year. I have a new family to go spend Thanksgiving with. I received some very nice FB messages from some of my fiancee's relatives down in Central Arkansas saying they were looking forward to meeting me and thank you for putting a smile back on her face. That was as nice as it was unexpected. As my family is pretty much BS crazy from top to bottom, I'm kind of looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with a family that apparently gets along pretty well. My fiancee's extended family, cousins, uncles, aunts, etc all seem to be very close and it's supposed to be a large gathering. Thanksgiving is apparently their biggest holiday since everyone spends Christmas with their immediate family, so, I'm actually looking forward to Thanksgiving this year which is a nice change. Apparently they have to rent out a building to do Thanksgiving in every year...lol Should be an interesting experience.

Many blessings to you and your new family! May this be the first of many wonderful holidays to come.
