    Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the US today. You can't spell Thanksgiving without genocide... well you can but it wouldn't be as fun. :pac:

    Enjoy the festivities everyone!

    Happy Thanksgiving!
    Being the one in the family with three small kids, fortunately I don't have to do much. Baked a pumpkin and a pecan-chocolate chip pie yesterday and heading over to the in-laws when the football game is over for turkey, ham green bean casserole and all the usual.

    That sounds wonderful. :) I baked a pecan pie and made a full dinner - first time ever and the turkey was AMAZING. :D

    Go you!
    I dread ever having to do a turkey, and not because I am a vegetarian... it just sounds so difficult! Fortunately, my US husband is handy in the kitchen. He made what I am told was a wonderful turducken (sausage stuffed chicken stuffed in a duck stuffed in a turkey) a couple of years ago.

    What eventually happens the turkeys that the President gives a Thanksgiving 'amnesty' to on the White House lawn?

    They are released to a farm to live out a natural end to their days.

    Our new thanksgiving tradition is eating dinner, and then going out to shoot the crap out of soda cans and the pumpkins left from halloween.

    You can imagine the pride I felt when I watched my wife's 91 year old grandmother shoot a can from 40 feet, without getting out of her chair!

    My 78 year old mother-in-law goes bear hunting with a bow and arrow. The famous children's book "Going on a Bear Hunt" has a different ending in our house: "They were silly, because they didn't bring grandma!".

    Which is evidence that we have the same kind of US experience......the coasts are overrated, great to visit, but if you want to really experience the USA, you need to move to the heartland.
