Happy thanksgiving, HTF. I've got a 14 lb bird in the fridge and plan to get it brining tomorrow morning. Some family is visiting, snow permitting. What are your plans?
Thanksgiving dinner is traditionally eaten in the early to mid-afternoon.McPaul said:Oh, and what's up with the above posters being done dinner already at 4pm?
Yeah. I've got to explain that to my daughter and son-in-law. Dinner was their house this year (they just had a baby last month. Yay! I'm a grandpa!) and they scheduled dinner for 6:30pm!Kevin Hewell said:Thanksgiving dinner is traditionally eaten in the early to mid-afternoon.
What an awesome story.bryan4999 said:Had a good day. I was asked to provide some diversion for the three kids (6, 8 & 9) while food was being prepped, so I took them into the home theater and we watched Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, which somehow they had never seen. They were very attentive and seemed to love it, I think the big screen helped (110"), and afterward they pretended the living room couch was a flying car. For me, it was very nostalgic in the sense that I remember being taken to the movies on holidays (probably to be out of the way, although I didn't realize it then) and I really felt like I had gone back in time. Those big 1960s musicals just seem like a sort of celebration to me, again, maybe because I was taken to see them on holidays as a kid.
