Features NO HAMB ON TURKEY DAY!

Who cares, I'll take either Gary.

 

Having both turkey and ham, so everybody have a great Thanksgiving and be grateful for making it to another one.

 

Thanks Don...now THAT'S Thanksgiving ! ! !

Showed this to Bonnie...suggesting perhaps a Thanksgiving reenactment ?

It appears that it's NOT going to happen...and I'm an "idiot".

 

Any brief moment of pause for me is H.A.M.B. time! I’m sure I’ll get some shit from my wife about H.A.M.B. time tomorrow, but oh well!

I got today off and don't have to go back till Monday morning..... Hope to be sober by then....
Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving weekend and go easy on the 101 proof Wild Turkey....

 

Dear God!.....

 

Has it been stuffed yet???

 

Why are you an "idiot"? Seems like a reasonable request to me... I wonder if I could talk my wife into the same kind of reenactment... Ahhh, to dream the impossible dream.

 

You guys keep using that four letter word! It’s offensive to my ears!
Going to the ranch to have Thanksgiving with my Mom and family, haven’t missed a Thanksgiving there since 1957.

For maybe the last 5 years been cook'n them on a Weber Grill outside. Crispy golden brown outside, moist, juicy, inside. Delish!

 

Have a Happy One - what ever is your style

 

Is she was in my kitchen look'n my appetite for food isn't what would be on my mind. Look at those drumsticks......

 

When I was young and dumber I would party way too hardy on the Wednesday before thanksgiving, so much so that I could barely eat dinner! I don’t miss that

 

I think my turkey timer just popped out!

 

LOL!!! I'm trying to decide what part to sample first... legs or breasts...

 

Hope you and your families gave a great Thanksgiving!

Brings back memories when I was younger!

First start with a smile.....

 

Happy Thanksgiving everybody & you too Bandit Billy.
I will have some turkey with my bride then sit in the recliner & take a nap. Sister & her family were supposed to be here but weather has them all staying home ,so they cancelled & we have 20 #s of turkey for the two of us.going to lots of leftovers. I also have 4 pies to devourer. maybe get some garage time.

 

I cooked 2 turkeys today, I am going to my sisters for dinner, the better half is going with her parents
and bringing some of the turkey to them. We will be eating the rest over the next 3 weeks or so.
Happy Thanksgiving to all, I will check the H.A.M.B in the am with my coffee, probably will not
check in again till Friday.

 

Ha! I thought that was a given...

 

Theres the job Ive been looking for!
Thankful to have the one Ive got, but things could be better

 

Who knew Bandit Billy was a literary genius!

 

Got my new trade coming in Friday Morn then going to LKQ. Late model stuff i know but Lota of little part, and great sale.

 

Just finished mine. BUT could not finish the Cheesecake with pumpkin spread in the middle and covered in Maple syrup. It was awesome but forgot that it was coming and ate too much of the normal turkey day food first. But there is always later after a nap.

 

Me too!! Being a mail carrier sucked sometimes didn't it. I am lovin the retirement though

 

Pretty hard to stuff one of those little critters, isn't it?

Hello,

Having understanding parents while we were teenagers was pretty outstanding. We used to have family sit down dinners with the whole family on Thursday night. But, over the years, being teenagers, we were invited to other friends and families dinners as well as having a ton of people over to our house. But, that got a little too busy for my mom.

She was a simple, but outstanding cook and her mantra was to provide for our family, not the whole relative/friends/neighbor scene. So, as those events happened while we were young, as teenagers, we had other things to do on our school vacations.

My brother was always thinking, so he planned 3-4 day vacations in Baja for our long extended surf vacations. So, my accommodating parents did the whole Thanksgiving dinner thing on Wednesday night. It was limited to only our family and one year, several of our friends that was going to ride with us to Mexico after dinner.

Besides, if we left on Wednesday night after dinner, all day Thursday and the weekend was a time my parents were left alone. Yes, that causes some funny scenarios, but they were probably glad the two brothers and friends were 200 plus mile away at some secret Baja Surf Point location for 4 days.

My dad used to bring home smoked turkey for the some of the Wednesday night dinners. That was fabulous as we had smoked turkey for lunch and dinner for several nights on those rocky Baja beaches. My mom was happy we were gone, because she got taken out to a nice restaurant for dinner two to three nights in a row. (sans teenagers)

Our hot rods and station wagons were prepped and ready to go down the coast. A quick stop at 1 am in Dana Point was always the stopping point because of free block ice to last for the whole time in Baja. The melting water was preserved as an emergency drinking source, if needed. No south of the border water for us, even for brushing teeth.

Those were the times, as a teenager, that were repeated for the next several years. It was the school vacation highlight and we all looked forward to the next session down in Baja. After college, things changed and those Thursday afternoons at relative's houses started popping up again. Or the big bashes at our house on Thursday evenings happened for a while.

But, my mom was leaning toward going to dinner at a restaurant instead of slaving over a hot over/stove for the whole morning and afternoon. She relented when the two brothers met and married their future wives plus the new extended families. Then, the big dinners started again even at our tiny house with 24 relatives and friends. It was a mad house, but memorable.

 

Plenty to be Thankful for, hope all you HAMBers have a wonderful day with your Loved ones. Miss Lynx, I think it's time to check the turkey!
