  Since I have recently received all of my cooking stuff out of storage from Indiana I decided I wanted to do something I haven't done in a long while: cook a big Thanksgiving feast and invite family and dear friends. The friends won't be a problem, it's the family that mostlikely won't show. I've asked my brother who lives fairly close and he said he didn't know because he and his wife would be coming home for a trip two days before. I asked my sister and she said she'll be in town and will let me know. No point in asking the parental units cuz I'm not in the mood for the "you know we don't celebrate thanksgiving, Christmas, mothers day, Hanukkah, etc and here's why" lecture. I'm not gonna let my family get me down. They'll miss out and my friends and immediate family will reap the benefit of my good home cooking. I'm getting pumped.

  Turkey day, turkey day!

  I'm making a white wine and butter turkey from a Martha Stewart recipe. The drippings makes a wonderful gravy.

  wha happened?

  when I was active, all of us would take advantage of the cheap/free turkey and invite everyone for a big dinner. No one showed up in custome as a turkey or a pilgrim so no one cared

  I love cooking a Thanksgiving meal. There are only three of us (family) to cook for so it's not so much fun. One of my friends has invited my son, his wife, and me over for TG dinner so that's where I will have my Thanksgiving dinner. Have you got any good recipes to share. We might mosey on down to Ms Cedars Cooking thread and share some good recipes. I love to try new dishes.

  Tell the fam it's not Thanksgiving, just a good day for a get together.

  That's what we always said when our all JW family had a big turkey dinner get-de-whoop every year.

  I think Thanksgiving falls on a Thursday this year.

  Please save me a jar of drippings, slurp.
