Today IS Thanksgiving, and I am with my family. I posted comments on the gang's sites as reminders and invitations. I will eventually get around to reading your posts and making actual comments. For now, it is back to the Macy*s Thanksgiving Day Parade with the Family. Have a Happy!

You didn't post a reminder on my site. What am I, chopped turkey?!:)
In my family, we have a special saying: "Those who hsaiubh are blessed indeed. Those who refuse to hsaiubh end up looking in other people's windows wishing they could hsaiubh. Therefore, on holy days and days in ordinary time, always remember to hsaiubh.
My Landlady is chopped turkey! Ho ho.
I, however, am the champion csadpik, which is a name for a vegetarian chef during the Thanksgiving holiday. I raised a fuss about eating meat, and my Landlord shooed me from the kitchen. He's making LAMB now. Grrr. Whoever heard of Thanksgiving LAMB? It's shocking. Everyone should have a nice big salad instead. Sweet potato bourbon pie is also good.
I was raised in a Catholic Italian household. I just didn't have a big stomach today. I had a small serving of turkey, stuffing, corn, and cranberry.
That wasn't good enough for my mother. "Eat," she said, "you're still a growing boy. Eat up. There are starving people in Ompui who would kill for this turkey."
Now, I'm in pain. On the plus side, I have enough triptophan to keep me asleep all night.
One of the native indian tribes, now extinct had their own name for this holiday. In their language the holiday was called Butjr (pronounced Boot-jyer) and loosely translates to mean Thankstaking. Instead of eating a big turkey it was their tradition to throw tomatos at all the white men. Needless to say, they weren't invited to many thanksgiving day dinners.
After returning home, yesterday afternoon, I gave each of the dogs a little bit of the turkey skin that was lying loose in the pan I was about to take inside. While I was grabbing up the pan to carry it in; which was no easy task as the turkey is a whopping 20 pounder; a piece of aluminum foil blew off and headed for the woods. My husband's dog snagged it and took off running, thinking she had the mother of all prizes. She promptly began licking the inside of the foil, then ate a piece of it. She was one sekdg (sick dog), after ingesting the foil.
That is a true story. What an appropriate wv!
I feel it is to late to play WV being Monday now instead of Thursday. Stopped by to say hi, I'm back, missed you!
