I'll be making Thanksgiving dinner (I've already got the turkey stock I'll use for the dressing and in the gravy simmering away - good stock is the key to good dressing. And I do make a pretty mean dressing - my wife lives for Thanksgiving, since I only make it once a year.) We've got a whole turkey breast from a local farm, (we like white meat). No big dinner planned for a change, since most of our families are out of state/country this year.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

My favourite Thanksgiving was in Paris, France in 1987. I was one of the principle cooks and it turned into an apple pie baking contest. The Canuck vs. the Swede. The Swede's apple pie was light, delicate, exquisite. Mine was American truck stop heart-attack lard crust 7 pound apple pie. I think my pie was the winner, but I'm not sure as the judges ate a piece of each and then promptly passed out from over eating. As the Swede and I were also judges, we ate a piece of each and also collapsed on the floor in a coma from too much food.

That's good stuff.

Funny, I'm in the mist of a selling a rather expensive item to a Canuck (Montreal). He's sending me a wire transfer. I spoke to him today; he tells me he'll send the money tomorrow. I told him that it may not post to my account 'till Friday because tomorrow is Thanksgiving day. His reply? I'm sorry, but it was a pure Canadian "OH YEA, EH?"

Did anyone else get Rick Roll'd on national TV harder then when Brian did it on Family Guy? By the man himself, no less.

Happy Thanksgiving!
