Happy Thanksgiving all !
I'm about to leave to have Thanksgiving with my family. How are you all spending it?
Oh, and this made me laugh, so I though I'd share it:

Happy Thanksgiving from 70F CA. It's our first turkey day in USA in 11 years, as we always travel internationally during this time.
We will be enjoying it with our family stateside this year
Hope all grm family has a good and healthy time
I am thankful to have most of my family close by. I am thankful to have a day off work. I am thankful for health. I am thankful for this community.
Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay warm.
I'm hoping I can take a bit of time off from making sure the American Consumer gets their special deals with a minimum of fuss. Let me tell you, the whole country goes full Karen this weekend. Then you won't see me for a week, for which I am thankful :)
Not having the traditional thanksgiving with my dad and our favorite Mexican restaurant sells there enchilada gravy and cheese dip by the crockpot. So our turkey day is enchiladas, rice and chips! It's a weird year but this stuff makes it much better. That red sauce most places use sucks.
Happy Thanksgiving all! Today (among other things), I'm thankful Mrs. Kazoo found a recipe for "Bacon-wrapped, honey glazed turkey breast".
Traditional stuff here, turkey, butternut squash, potatoes, etc. Trish made a pumpkin roll; pumpkin bread 1/2" thick on a sheet pan, slathered with cream cheese frosting then rolled like a jelly roll. Goes great with her homemade ginger ice cream!
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
We started the day with donuts, then a walk. Upon our return, Mimosas and bacon, now, my special lady friend is making stuffed pork chops and mashed potatoes. It was a beautiful, sunny day in TN. Just the two of us this year, and that's okay. I got some wrenching in, and we're watching Zatoichi tonight.
Be well, everyone.
Turkey is about to come out of the oven. Two kids are still away from home, but they're being taken care of by good people without having to travel across the country, and for that I'm thankful.
Have a wonderful day everyone.

Just getting over the Turkey coma. Traditional dinner for just the two of us.
My wife fed her children who came over one family at a time and with masks on and social distance she handed them their Thanksgiving dinners in bags. All cooked and portioned out.
Quiet a change from the usual 40 plus we had in the past. It's what we did for Easter as well. It's become the new normal and we are doubled down in isolation and social distance. In the past two weeks I've had one student ride the bus one time for the Jr High school. ( the only school still holding classes )
My world has gotten very small...my older brother and my mother are gone, my stepson is MIA, and my wife isn't talking to her older sister so she's now the official matriarch of the family.
She prepared a truly fantastic meal and I drove a complete picnic style kit over to my 82 y/o dad's house with my two daughters (13 & 16) which is just about three miles away.
We didn't stay, instead, we went straight back home where my wife had everything completely ready to go so we could all sit down together and share the meal with my dad remotely through face time.
A far cry from the big family gatherings I grew up having but dead is dead, COVID is COVID, sisterly fall outs are sisterly fall outs so given the realities, it was actually very good.
I am very proud of my wife...my mom set the bar at stratospheric heights but she has managed to step up and really become the next matriarch.
