Why are plane tickets so expensive?

They’re dirt cheap compared to times in the past.

We actually flew to the FL Panhandle for the weekend to attend a military event for my daughter so had Thanksgiving dinner today as she cannot fly ’home’ next week. As a military family it’s not the date but when we can get together that drives things sometimes: Turkey, bread dressing, rice dressing, gravy, butternut squash, corn & cranberry sauce followed up with homemade cookies and sundae’s as she is not a pie fan… 😋

Venison tenderloin... No deer in the bag, no dinner. At least that is what I told my sons.

hamball and turkey!

 

[chicharrones]

Food.

I don't know exactly what's on the menu as I'm never in charge of that decision. The wife and one sister-in-law are da Thanksgivin' bosses around here.

I will say that they are experts at their game and I always eat well for several days.

Got a tiny Butterball bird. Smallest I could find. 11.5 lbs for $11.25. For wife, dog and I, that’s plenty. Defrosting now.

Besides the usual dressing I want to make a side using sweet potatoes and pralines. Has it been done before? 🤓

WindShooter......I've never put pralines in sweet potatoes but I make the best pralines in the world. I think I will make some for Thursday

 

[Arrowhead]

I leave it up to the cooks to decide and have never been disappointed. All four generations will gather here Thursday.

67R/T, sounds good. I like to snack on a couple along with a double espresso.

Beef tenderloin, Honeybaked Ham, all the other normal accessories. Nobody here really likes turkey all that much.

Probably 3 additional pounds by the time the weekend is over.

Honey baked ham is my favorite.
Turkey is for sandwiches, not dinner.

Of course, leftover Honey baked ham makes good sandwiches.

The traditional Turkey Butterball with dressing, cranberry sauce (shaped like the can LOL) Sweet potatoes, with hot rolls, and pumpkin pie for dessert & plenty of coffee.

Going out. Not sure what I'll have, but it won't be Turkey! Ham if I can get it. Its a meshugge holiday anyway, never has been my favorite.

Years ago would trailer home a big pit the day before Thanksgiving. That night 6 or 8 friends would come over and we would good all night. There would be all kinds of wild game and anything else people wanted to cook. There could be anything fom a whole pig to a rattlesnake or two. There would also be beer and a couple of bottles of good whiskey.
Morning would come and everyone would leave with whatever meet they had brought.
After about 3 years the wives put a stop to it. Most of us were pretty much useless Thanksgiving Day......but it was a lot of fun.

Mom cooked a traditional Thanksgiving dinner (Turkey) for the family for ~50 years. First year she was no longer able to do so, my vegetarian sister invited us all over to her house. She asked Mom what kind of non-meat main dish she liked. Her response was...

TURKEY.

Sis got her subtle hint and prepared a small bird for the carnivores.

I don't know that I would fill "full" without some kind of meat. Kind of like having a salad for lunch. Guess it's habit
