Hope you all have a great day with the family!
I'm glad there's no Bears game today since I'm usually chief dish washer / kitchen cleaner and don't get to plop on the couch and watch football all day.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
I’ve had my grill fired up and been enjoying some entertaining games today. No complaints here.
I hope you’re all enjoying the holiday.

Happy Thanksgiving, all!
My wife works for a Canadian company, so she baked three pies with the kids last night and I knocked out seven dishes solo today. Big revelation: a little vanilla goes great in homemade cranberry sauce. Bigger revelation: the Lions. Damn.

So much road and so few places, so much friendliness and so little intimacy, so much flavour and so little taste.

We're a blended family, and also have grown kids - so people are pulled in a bunch of different directions on Turkey Day these days. So we've made a tradition of just having the kids go their own way (to our exes, or their in laws, or with us if they want - whatever) while we go to the D for tailgating. Sometimes we'll take in the parade, and most of the time we go to the game. I've been lucky it has been the Bears on Thanksgiving several of the recent years - so extra fun. Then we get home around 5:30-6 and I'll usually throw some steaks on the grill for whoever is there. This year some old friends came to stay with us, and he always wanted to attend a Lions game on TDay. So mission accomplished for him. It was a glorious day in Detroit yesterday. Great game, and with a little better clock management I think they should have won! Tickets were expensive this year - damn Bills mafia! I picked up a Hutch jersey because he grew up in town here and is friends with some of our kids' friends. Which is cool - local product on the local team.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Cooking. Consuming it knocked me out.

This is NOT how our Thanksgiving dinner looked.

Another year, another T-day rolling in. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, hope you all have lots of food and fun and can watch some football although we don't have a dog in the hunt today.
The wife and I are going to Niagra Falls tomorrow to renew our wedding vows (it's been 20 years) so the bombing yesterday really caught our attention; it seems normality of sorts, though, has been restored and we shouldn't experience any issues.

I wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving day. We all worked today as it is not a holiday here. I do have tomorrow off so we will be watching the games today. Wonder what we will have for dinner??? Probably Pizza...or Schnitzel?
A new Era begins in the NFC North!
Sadly, it does not involve the Bears....

Happy Thanksgiving all. The wife and I and the kids and their significant others and families will be celebrating tomorrow. We let the kids to their inlaws and we did not want to make them do 2 Turkey days in one day.
Prepared some food for tomorrow, took the dog for a walk and now just watching the Lions lion.

Happy Thanksgiving, Gents!
This year, it’s just me and the wife. Nice empty-nester holiday — No turkey, instead we’re having a prime rib roast.
Football early and then date night out at a jazz club later. Still Thanksgiving and still grateful.
Especially thankful for all you guys who keep me in touch with all things Bears!

Seriously, we have standing rib roast and my wife makes it in the oven … she has a dry rub that she uses. She treats it with the rub, bakes until it reaches 140 degrees, then she takes it out and lets it rest until it reaches 150-155. We slice/serve it slightly after that.
Truthfully, neither of us cares for turkey very much. We haven’t had one at Thanksgiving in over ten years. But we are well known in our social circles for serving standing rib roast at the holidays.

Went to my sister's for supper. My bro in law did a prime rib roast. Damn, it was tasty. He slathered it in some bacon grease the some herbs (pepper, garlic, salt and some Montreal Steak seasoning). Kind of glad they asked us over.

[belated] Happy Thanksgiving to youze guys (and gals?)! Already been up a few hours working on my daughters laptop PC, which I'm using now. Visiting my uncle near DC, and I got all of about 3 hours sleep in the hotel room. While I can give thanks for having a place to stay, if any of you need another reason for thankfulness just be thankful you're not a Redskins fan. Sheesh - I just don't see any way that their arrow is pointed up.
San Francisco has always been my favorite booing city. I don't mean the people boo louder or longer, but there is a very special intimacy. Music, that's what it is to me. One time in Kezar Stadium they gave me a standing boo.
