Good Thursday morning, and a HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ONE AND
ALL!!

Cannonball & Jay, glad to see you back in here. 

I've got two big ole turkeys in the oven, so they should
be ready by noontime ET. 

Meanwhile, take a trip over to the warmer bar, for turkey
bacon, sausage links or patties, homemade buttermilk biscuits,
sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, and your choice of hash browns
or tater tots.

I've got plenty of coffee on, and juice is made; also have
the hot tea, hot chocolate and hot cocoa.

Cannonball

Glad to hear that you made it through the crowd of "turkeys" today.  First time in many years that we are hosting T-day.  If I had to drive this weekend, especially on our frequent run south through Chicago and I-65 from Gary to Indy, I would probably want to get something from Ace Rent-A-Tank.

I know the trucks gotta go, but I get a little peeved at the rig going 65 to pass another going 64-especially when I can get 75-80 without too much of a chance getting stopped.  Ah, life is soooo tough... right? 

Enjoy the day.

  The trials & tribulations  of the weeks are gone . I try to count my blessings , and there are many.

All the turkeys ain't in the meat case.  There are quite a few on the road . In spite of them we made it home 20 this after noon . We have all our grown youngin's here for the big event , with their young.

    So we are very fortunate indeed  . We wish all the Diner folks  a good Thanksgiving .

                                                                     Respectfully , Cannonball & Shirley .

Quite nice here in southern WI, especially for late November.  Mostly my family coming in for turkey tomorrow, it will be a good day.  The best Thanksgiving to everybody.

Jay

The roast beef sounds really good. Send some over this way please.

Weather here was awesome today. Got over 50 and sunshine...

Well, since it looks like no one's been in all afternoon,
I've just made some sandwiches for supper tonight.  I'm
back fighting the cold/sinus infection, so supper is on
the light side tonight.

1.  grilled cheese
2.  open-face roast beef sandwiches w/mashed taters & gravy

Note:  I've tried to call Jim a couple of times, but haven't
made contact yet.  Will try later on tonight, and let every-
one know how he's getting along.

EDIT: Wouldn't you know it, NOW I get the first post on a page...

It all depends upon how you look at the world.  I have my options set to display Newest posts first, so those "Dito" signs are pointing to the post after yours.  But I've kind of gotten used to what people mean when they use words like "above".

Have a great Thanksgiving, and don't spend too much money...

[cherokee woman]

Well, getting ready to head back uptown for that meeting
from Monday that was rescheduled for today.  Lunch is set
up on the warmer bar (leftovers from yesterday, and the
cold side dishes are in the cooler.

[tree68]

Orange & Spice tea and a bearclaw SVP.

Half a day at work, then on the road for the shores of Chesapeake Bay.  Son & DIL living in SE MD now, daughter and SIL will be in the area at his brother's, so we'll all get together down there on Friday. 

Unfortunately, you "can't get there from here" by rail, so taking the train's out, except for any watching I can pull off on the way.  Just missed one this morning (heard the defect detector, but was still a ways from the crossing).

In case I can't get on over the weekend - Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving, drive safe, and eat too much turkey...

[cherokee woman]

Good Wednesday morning to all. 

Coffee is on, juice is freshly made, and there's also
hot tea, hot chocolate, and hot cocoa.

Regular breakfast menu items are on the warmer bar.


Everyone take care, and have a great day.

Joe, you're very welcome.  And for all others, beginning to
serve the evening meal, so come on, grab a plate, and load
it up with good food!!

Think I made enough today (two turkeys plus all the trimmings)
to last through tomorrow night.  Then, Thursday morning, I'll
start all over again, with two more turkeys and all the trim-
mings.

Finally, a real vacation! Five days off! Of course there's the chemistry homework to do and the English questions to answer and the Theology paper to write, but it is still a vacation!

CW - The Pre-Thanksgiving food is really great. I'm looking forward to more of it on Thanksgiving!!

[Datafever]

Thanks for all the hard work, CW!  I'll only take a sampling now, as I'll be around tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day...

[cherokee woman]

The second round of Pre-Thanksgiving Dinner is now ready for
all our friends in the western area of the Continent.  Enjoy,

Turkey, dressing, green beans, corn, mac & cheese, broccoli
casserole,homemade buttermilk biscuits, crescent rolls, dinner rolls; and in the cooler:  cranberry sauce, potato salad,
watergate salad (otherwise known as pistachio salad), fruit
salad, banana croquets, and garden salad.

(Takes a dish filled with a few turkey slices, corn, broccoli casserole and dinner rolls served with a side of cranberry sauce and potato salad )

Methinks I'm going to need Pepto-Bismol after eating this...

[locomutt]

I sampled everything!  It is so good.  The paw prints are clean - I washed them really well before I stuck them in the bowls.  And then I washed them after, too.  Sometimes, I didn't even need a paw - just a small taste. 

CW - we will need more watergate salad - I think I ate too much of it! 

Going to leave the premises in a short while, so everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving and we will do this all over again on Monday!

Mookie

Have a HAPPY and SAFE Thanksgiving!!!!!  Try not to get your PAWS into
too many things!!!!!

homemade biscuits & sausage gravy, oatmeal, grits, toast &
cream of wheat are all on the warmer bar.

Got the turkeys in the oven, so they'll be ready by lunch

Good Tuesday morning to all!  Nice and chilly here this
morning, at 30 degrees.  By around around daybreak, we
should be at about 28 degrees, maybe a degree or two lower.

Well, it has certainly been quite a long time since I've been in here. Things seem to be going well, espeacilly now that Mookie has made her presence to be seen! Nice photo Mookie, I am envious of it, it;s got a train in the background. Darn I wish I could have taken some of my high school pictures with a trian in the background!!!

[SactoGuy188]

Okay, everyone:  the spaghetti, bread and salad are now
ready to be eaten!!  Come get your plates, and load up.

(Grabs plate of spaghetti and garlic bread )

I'm eagerly awaiting the pre-Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow.

By the way, I'm getting some strange looks with my Christmas tree and lights now working nightly. People think I put it up a wee bit too early.

OK, before anybody makes a mad dash to the door to escape possible claws and teeth, let me state:

Whoever has the tin boots can keep them, I still feel safe.

I have yet to meet this gal personally, but she looks like she is a very nice lady!

On the menu for this morning; bacon, sausage, hash brown potatoes, scrambled eggs, english muffins topped with peanut butter or anything else you like on them, buttermilk pancakes and french toast.

(Grabs sausage, hash browns and scrambled eggs )

(By the way, muffins topped with peanut butter? I've never heard of that combination before.)

I'll be back to rewarm the country fried steak, mashed potatoes and peas for lunch.

SactoGuy 188, you shouldn't turn your nose up at anything until you've tried it. Trust me, an English whole wheat muffin is very good topped with butter AND peanut butter! Yum yum!!
