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?

Happy Thanksgiving you old HTF!

I have a 19 pound bird in the fridge that I started dry brining yesterday. Will keep it thusly until tomorrow AM when the magic begins. If all goes according to plan I will not set foot out of the house!

I've got my bird in the brine now. In a cooler, on the deck, in the freezing rain. It may get frozen shut, but the Bupkiss's dogs won't get it!And my niece is here on the couch watching Woody Woodpecker on her iPad, promising to be nice while her mom is at the gym :)

The snow is just starting to fall now here in the Albany area. Expecting somewhere in the vicinity of 6 to 12".

Looks like we'll have our dream of a White Thanksgiving after all! :rolleyes:

:biggrin:

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I'm always thankful that I've got the HTF to hang out at.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the U.S. (We of course had ours in October). I hope everyone has a great day and thanks to all of you we now have Black Friday and Cyber Monday in Canada so I will be checking out the deals.

I'm doing cleanup, working on a turkey stock, and catching up on HTF. Rest of family is asleep and/or watching Prometheus Rising on Netflix. The dog show was on earlier.

Happy american thanksgiving to all the Americans in America!Of course the rest of us know that thanksgiving is really in October ;)Been a fun afternoon watching football and caught some of the parade earlier. Seems like it's all about advertising. That's cool - it was the first time I caught any of it. Looks like my wallet will be safe for tomorrow as the deals in this country are pretty much non-existent. Enjoy the madness!!!Oh, and what's up with the above posters being done dinner already at 4pm?

Yes, so far the deals up here seem "ho-hum". They have taken the name "Black Friday", but not really the spirit. I guess we remain a Boxing Day country (our British roots) after all.

Thanksgiving dinner is traditionally eaten in the early to mid-afternoon.
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!

I guess that's what happens when you outsource a project! :laugh:

Dinner should be at three and then we should be thinking about turkey sandwiches about 10pm or so... :biggrin:

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.

What an awesome story.

A magical day for the kids which will give them the same kind of fond memories that you have of movies and the holidays. Just great! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I hope everyone had a great holiday! We got a solid foot of snow at my parents' place for our first Thanksgiving back home since I moved to FL (2002). My son was thrilled! He made his first snowman, built his first snow fort, and had his first snowball fight.

And they'll be his last, too! (At least until he moves north on his own. ;) )
