With chicken, sausage, shrimp, crab, and oyster....and a side of potato salad. And a loaf of Zip french bread to soak up the juices. Eat your heart out, Mickey.
 
Zip french bread, also known as Leidenheimer's french bread, for you uninitiated out there.
 
And here I am about to drive 200+ miles for <span style="font-style: italic">turkey</span>. I been cheated. :jester:

Somehow that just doesn't make sense...Leidenheimer's Jewish Rye with caraway seeds sounds more appropriate. :laugh:
 
Turkey cooked over mesquite wood on the grill... perfect!

We'll have the standard tryptophan-laden meal. Then about 20 of us will head to the local Irish pub where my cousin's kid is the bartender.

I have two brothers who are twins. They were born just before Thanksgiving (I have six sibling). So after the turkey, the pub-run is really to celebrate their birthday. We'll try to bring my 93 year old great-aunt if she's up to it. She always has the best stories.

It'll take me Saturday and Sunday to recover. :jester:
 
We did things differently this year....daughter, s-i-l, grandson spent day with s-i-l's family...they were with us last T'giving...so we went out for lunch then visited wife's sister & brother and 2 different locations...so, I had an all-you-can -eat buffet followed with 2 different desserts!

Spent a couple of hours in the gym pool this am swimming & doing an aquatic aerobics class.

Now, tomorrow we're going to daughter's for another traditional meal & then taking grandson for a ride on the Polar Express Train (https://www.hodrrm.org/default.aspx)....yep, we've already got our tickets!
 
We had dinner at my moms as usual and there were 31 people there. We had 24 at the big table and the kids were at their own table. Excellent meal with the bird and ham, along with all the other fixins. Great day! Mom wants us back tonight to clean up what was left. Doesn't hurt my feelings.

Just me this year, I had a chicken pot pie. This weekend I'm doing ribs for the clan.
 
Since Thursday's not a holiday here we did it on Saturday with the neighbors over for company. Great traditional meal, roast Turkey cornbread stuffing, cornbread, etc.; pecan pie. With a little local Whiskey to finish.

Then unloaded all the left-overs at a flag foorball "Leftover Bowl" with a bunch of other expatriate Americans and hangers-on in Edinburgh. So bitterly cold and damp that football lasted 20 minutes of tossing the ball around for show... then in to eat. It was fun, the "First Annual" and I do think there'll be a "Second". Have to order better weather for the day, though....

It's kind of strange seeing everyone else having the holiday and then playing catch-up on the weekend.
