>> Morning all. We started at 2pm. Cleaned up and put everything away. And then started again at 7pm. And my friends kept opening bottle after bottle of wine. So I hung out drinking with them until about midnight. Now I’m ready for leftovers.
I started prepping right after we had our coffee and breakfast yesterday; started the washing, slicing, trussing, baking, etc around 10am. We were beat by the time dinner started.
I was surfing and see that Reverend Jim Bakker has a show on WHT, the World Harvest Channel, wtf? I don’t know what he’s preaching about, but he’s selling pave diamond earrings for $100!
stevieb, all day? jeez I would have melted. What happened to a cool thansgiving. It’s the perfect holiday for a fireplace but the last couple of years it’s been to damn hot.
biff, one year my family ate thanksgiving dinner in 8 minutes. The whole clan, parents included had been out the night before…..
For lunch yesterday, we had a roasted butternut and apple soup with pumpkin bread. We really tried to have something light before the big meal of the day later.
I’ve seen Tammy Faye Bakker on TV recently as well. Less hair, similar eye makeup.

DeLepp, that’s hilarious. Sounds like a Simpsons episode.
>>So much preparation and then the fun lasts for such a short time – not unlike my first sexual experience
ROTFL!!!
biff, believe me never again! Though half were made on Wednesday. The onions are the easiest thing to make and they always a crowd pleaser.
