Whatever Cracker Barrel has on their menu. I am leaving bright and early the next morning, so left overs from the previous day would go to waste. though on the up side, when I get to my sisters house, she will have all kinds of yummy left overs for me. Got to admit, turkey and stuffing is really better the next day.

Sushi !!!





Ahhhhhh...............the traditional Jewish menu I see. :D



It was just awfully hard to find a damn restaurant that was open :(

I figured for sure that some of the regular Chinese places would be open but no such luck, don't any Buddhists run restaurants? >:(

I would have looked for a Kosher place but this is redneck country and the Jews have figured out that they damn well better celebrate Christmas like the rest of the good people do :)

So that left me, a practising non believer and my Catholic girl friend looking for any place that was open after a day on the ski slopes celebrating the birth of Christ by engaging gravity, snow and boards. :)
Hmmmmmm. Sushi !!!

Used to be whatever Mom or my bro's g/f felt like cooking. This year it'll be whatever whoever invites us over is cooking.

Someday I'd like to have turdunkin. According to the morning radio show here, turdunkin is a chicken stuffed into a duck stuffed into a turkey. Sounds yummy.

Tradition USED to be having the entire family from both sides, including kids get together. That would be 25-30 people shoved into a tiny living room with two long tables shoved together. Hell, the spousal unit, myself and our 8 kids made up 10 of those folks!

I did most of the cooking, etc. It was a GREAT time! I love to cook and do it well. :)
We'd have:
Spiral sliced Ham
Fried turkey
Dressing
Mashed potatoes/gravy
Sweet potato casserole
Corn on the cob
Green Beans
Green Peas
Fried Okra
Collard Greens
Blackeyed Peas
Apple Salad
Cranberry sauce
Rolls
Homemade Banana Pudding
Various pies & cakes


But things change....[:/]

This year, I'm in a new city. Haven't got a place I can call my own yet and all my stuff is still in storage. :S I do believe I will be looking for a Cracker Barrel nearby. :)

My wife and I did that one year. My folks had gone to Hawaii to see my brother, and we were too tired after a hard week to drive to S.C. to see her folks, and we hadn't bought any food for Thanksgiving... so we went down the highway until we found a place that was open (not many restaurants are open Thanksgiving)... At least Cracker Barrel is a helluva lot better choice than Waffle House! :D:D:D

My brother lived in Vegas for a couple years when he was stationed at Nellis AFB. I was on a business trip to Phoenix, then flew in to spend the Thanksgiving weekend with him.

We had our dinner at a casino buffet then hit a few tables. Definitely qualifies as one of my weirder Thanksgiving dinners.

Actually, I think last year wins ... I had Indian food in New Zealand on Thanksgiving night.:D

I'm betting they'll have the works. In 2000 I was in Thailand and traveling between Bangkok and Chiang Mai. Both the hotel in Bangkok that we were leaving and the hotel in Chiang Mai we were checking into advertised "traditional" Thanksgiving dinners. But since we were on a plane during the dinner hour, we didn't get to try this Thai inerpretation of our American classic.

Hey...I LIKE Waffle House...but I don't know that I've seen any here in Texas. :S Besides, we save Waffle House for Christmas Eve! ;)

One of the best selfish Thanksgiving's I've ever had is when I deserted the family and went to Lake Wales for a week in 2003, to be a CRWpup to 100 of the best CRWdogs in the world...as they attempted and ACHIEVED the 70 Way World Record Canopy Formation.

When you live, breathe and dream CRW...where else should a good little CRWpup be? :)
