Thanksgiving!

ally99 · November 23rd, 2014, 07:11 AM

Thanksgiving! One of my favorite times of the year. This year, I am thankful I can walk and eventually ride again. I am thankful for amazing, loyal friends and family, near and far. I am thankful for forgiveness, for strength, for determination, for originality, and I am thankful that I can comfortably call myself "weird" and like who I am anyway.

This thread is everything Thanksgiving! What traditions do you have? What's on your Thanksgiving table? (Did you know turkey was never mentioned as being part of the first Thanksgiving?) What are you most grateful for? Post funny Thanksgiving quotes or memes.

I deep fry a few turkeys with my dad. We give them to family and friends for their dinner. So far, we haven't burned anything down yet. hahahahahahahah

One time when I was really little, my mom took me with her to the grocery store. In the cart she picked up, there was someone else's used ChapStick. I picked it up and put it on and asked my mom what it was. She told me it was ChapStick, and gave me no further explanation, and didn't seem to be bothered by the fact that I was putting on some weird strangers lip balm. I'm thankful I didn't get herpes that day.

Also thankful for having access to food and water and shelter, transportation, and education.

Oh to eat I'm getin black bean burgers, with lettuces, tomatoes, mustards, an chili mmmmmmmmm

Rogue · November 24th, 2014, 12:19 PM

I am thankful for my health (fragile though it sometimes is), my awesome rider coaches who push me just enough, a terrific partner in crime who's always willing to play 'catch me if you can' through the twisties, bacon (always bacon!), a job that I don't hate [on most days], the roof over my head, and the food in the fridge. I am very fortunate, indeed.

We grilled a turkey breast wrapped in bacon once, it was the best turkey ever!

LittleRedNinjette · November 24th, 2014, 12:22 PM

My kitties (and my dog when he was still alive) always get turkey leftovers on Thanksgiving. We would make up special plates for them.

Did you catch the package of Whiskas treats behind the turkey? Our 3 cats run the house, they just let me live here.

I've got 5, plus a baby kitten my sister is nursing back to health before we give him to a new home

LittleRedNinjette · November 24th, 2014, 12:36 PM

I forgot the stray outside so 4. I'm hoping to get her inside but she is having none of the other 3 just yet.

Some of them are just too feral to live with people. But some feral cats are rude, but still very sweet. Its a mixed bag.

Oh, no. She isn't feral. She was someones cat. That someone just tossed her out because her boyfriend at the time was allergic. Shes actually fairly friendly but a bit skittish. She's getting there though. Whether she likes it or not she'll be coming inside when we move in a year or two though. I'm not leaving her behind.

JohnnyBravo · November 24th, 2014, 02:17 PM

I'm allergic to cats, I still had a rag doll before I went to the army... Cats are crazy; ima stick to pits

I don't know, if you haven't had Smoked Turkey on a Webber grill... It will give a fried turkey a run for its money.

and... the gravy is TO DIE FOR... Didn't see a gravy boat next to the fried turkey

allanoue · November 24th, 2014, 03:08 PM

No need for gravy with deep fries turkey injected with sriracha hot sauce and has been brined.
Smoked is good but it needs gravy.

Gravy's always a plus, right?

have you ever tried teriyaki turkey dipped in sriracha? OMG! you put it over rice and its ****ing incredible.

Snake · November 24th, 2014, 04:08 PM

Has anyone ever had a turdonken? ( a duck stuffed in a chicken which is then stuffed into the turkey.)

Why does that bird have tin foil gloves???

Snake · November 24th, 2014, 05:25 PM

Just imagine if the Turkey had become our national bird as Benjamin Franklin wanted. They would be a protected species.

JohnnyBravo · November 24th, 2014, 05:26 PM

I've decided to go all the way with the thanksgiving vegan bar b que- found recipes for everything including not so chicken wings... I'm drooling around the house

snot · November 24th, 2014, 05:30 PM

OK, food... we have turkey, stuffing, potatoes, gravy, rolls,cranberry sauce, and pie.
Thankful, well I am very thankful for my friends, and family. I am thankful I am heathy (more than some, less than others), am grateful for my job, roof over my head and my many countless blessings.

I am very grateful for the forum. I have met a great coach/friend and learned so much on here.

It doesn't trust the government. And it can't wear a tinfoil hat.

I'm reading this **** and audibly chuckling, making my roommate look at me like, "WTF is so funny?" I don't say anything cause this **** can't be explained.

the wing tips are very thin, and are high so they get the most heat.

if you don't cover them, the tips get all burnt... little foil and then remove it just at the last 10 minutes and it's all good.

Finesse · November 24th, 2014, 09:13 PM

Hahahahahaha this is a great thread... not so much the bacon turkey... I don't eat meat

But there will be lots of wine

There are too many things to list about what I'm thankful for. But mostly it's the moment I turn the key in my bike ignition to off and set it on the side stand after coming home from any ride... I know there's no guarantee I'll come home safe and sound on my bike so I'm thankful every time I do. And also for my dog who has changed my life and been my constant companion for a year now.
